I have a reputation worldwide of being tolerant of all people and their views. I'm too well-educated to criticize a certain religion or group of people for what they believe in. It's called freedom.

If you're going to counsel people - and that's all my ministry is, it's a counseling ministry more than anything else - people have to believe that they can trust you and that they can listen to you, that you're going to try to help them and not just politically try to convert them to your views.

Tough times never last, but tough people do

Religion is meant to be bread for daily use, not cake for special occasions

Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don't know how to quit.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.
