A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner.
The past does not have to be your prison. You have a voice in your destiny. You have a say in your life. You have a choice in the path you take.
I choose goodness. I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.
I choose gentleness. Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
Find joy in the ordinary.
Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.
People are watching the way we act more than they are listening to what we say.
