We limit ourselves and God who wants to work through us

Only through our faith do we allow Him to move in our lives

It's in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It's not in happiness. It's not in impulsive pleasure.

It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.

Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

My home is in Heaven. I'm just traveling through this world.

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.

Through a long and painful process, I've learned that happiness is an inside job - not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I've become a different and better person - not perfect, but still a work in progress.

It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.

The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.

In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' What I've discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.

We pass through this world but once.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

In 2009, I fractured my skull in a freak accident at an L.A. restaurant. I suffered a seizure and was rushed into hospital. I was so out of it that I refused to let them scan my brain. My dad rushed to my bedside and talked me into having the CAT scan - he told me that I might die if I didn't go through with it.
