You weren't created to be unhappy in order to keep everyone else happy. Run your own race.
You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.
When thoughts tell you it’s too late, dismiss them. You haven’t dreamed your best dream. You haven’t run your best race.
Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.
Don't spend all your time trying to win over your critics. Just run your own race.
There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you're not running their race. You're running your race.
Bad habits are easy to develop but difficult to live with. Good habits are difficult to develop, but easy to live with. If you are willing to be uncomfortable for little while, so you can press past the initial pain of change, in the long run, your life will be much better.
Quit worrying about what other people think and just be who God made you to be. If you will run your race, God will take care of your critics.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
We need to, you know, restore people. We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.
