The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.

If the amount of times we get up is just one less than the amount of times that we've been knocked down, then we're spending our lives lying down.

Any dream that I am absolutely confident I can achieve should immediately be discarded for the simple reason that it is simply too small.

To fall is not to fail. To fail is to never fall because I never got up in the first place.

When surrounded by the ashes of all that I once cherished, despite my best efforts I can find no room to be thankful. But standing there amidst endless ash I must remember that although the ashes surround me, God surrounds the ashes. And once that realization settles upon me, I am what I thought I could never be ... I am thankful for ashes.

Sadly, I put my dreams to bed long before they ever had the chance to get tired.
