Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Business gives you a massive high. Doing a great deal, coming up with an inspirational solution... It's very addictive. But it doesn't last long. In isolation, it's a bit sterile. It doesn't reward the soul.

My mind's my kingdom.

I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!

We sing inspirational songs, songs of praise and worship, and about how good and how big God is. We are magnifying the Lord.

The leaders who we admire who have been able to bring great change in the past - Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela - they're all inspirational religious leaders and smart tacticians. It would be nice to find the Muslim Gandhi, wouldn't it?

Prayer is man's greatest power!

Barack Obama's inspirational whoosh to the presidency in 2008 was unusual. Most campaigns are less exhilarating; indeed, they are downright disappointing - until someone wins.

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.
