opportunity men play
A part of me still says, 'Maybe, Denzel, you're supposed to preach. Maybe you're still compromising.' I've had an opportunity to play great men and, through their words, to preach. I take what talent I've been given seriously, and I want to use it for good.
life success faith
I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.
life success faith
I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.
life success trust
If you don't trust the pilot, don't go.
father years long
My father was a minister for 50 years (with) Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, "Amen. God is love." I thought God is love was one word. Like "Godislove." And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant.
morning fall night
I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you're down there thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory, we all got plenty,
life success faith
The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
flower good-friend two
In marriage, if you're a guy, learn two phrases. One is "yes, dear" and the other is "honey, you're right." Be patient. Be good friends first. And stick together. You gotta work at it. It's not all a honeymoon, it's not all flowers and roses, but if you're friends and partners and committed, you'll be okay. And everybody's got advice for you - don't listen.
inspirational life strength
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially.
motivational success opportunity
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
taken dust thorns
Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are and to the dust we shall return.
book winning doors
There's a book called "The Sociopath Next Door." I thought most sociopaths were violent. In fact, they aren't. But almost all sociopaths want to win, no matter what.
men awards giving
Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
party awards matter
I don't concern myself with award. I'd been to the party enough times to know it really didn't matter.
