Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

God always wants us to be growing.

There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.

What is once well done is done forever.

He who laughs best today, will also laughs last.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven’t and don’t.

For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it’s time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.

A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.

I don’t intend to stop making music.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help… Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning.

Christians are not limited to any church.

No decent career was ever founded on a public.

I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down – we’re not going to be the number one group in the world forever – so you have to have something else to fall back on.

I’ll assure you this: I will have nothing to do with politics.

I’ve always been an underdog. I feel like I beat the odds.

You can’t knock on opportunity’s door and not be ready.

My main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony.

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.

I don’t want no handouts. I want to get it out the mud.

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm. I love that.

Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place – that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

I promise you, I will have something on the Internet that is game-changing. I can’t lose.

I don’t want to hear the word ‚can’t.‘

You fail only if you stop writing.

Genius is patience.

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.

Oh, come, Divine Physician, and bind up every broken bone. Come with Thy sacred nard which Thou hast compounded of Thine own heart’s blood, and lay it home to the wounded conscience and let it feel its power. Oh! Give peace to those whose conscience is like the troubled sea which cannot rest.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

You start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don’t care about money, and that’s not my problem.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

You know, there is always times where you feel discouraged and things coming against you, but I don’t know if I ever wanted to throw in the towel.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‚I love you.‘

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.

I knew I wasn’t going to be a rocket scientist – let’s not be fools – but I wasn’t going to be a bum.

The blessed of us must save the less of us. I’m blessed, and yeah, I’m planning to go to Heaven.

I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell – you see, I have friends in both places.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

Khrushchev reminds me of the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger’s skin long before he has caught the tiger. This tiger has other ideas.

The sovereign cure for worry is prayer.

The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

I remember talking with Arcade Fire after their first record, when they were getting all kinds of offers from major labels, and I don’t think I gave them any advice. They survived that whole onslaught pretty well anyway without me.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there… and still on your feet.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

You have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going – I have no post-satisfaction.

I could give a flying flip about doing promo because, no disrespect, nobody put me in the position that I’m in.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

I have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
