"We don't want to survive. We want..." - Quote by Joyce Meyer

“You can't be pitiful AND powerful.”

“We can get excited by thinking about what all we have or can have, OR we can get discouraged by thinking about what all we don't have.”

“When you need to make a decision, don't let your emotions vote.”

“When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.”

“Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.”

“Annoyance is a physical malady that is in no way cured just because the annoying situation that causes it is eliminated.”

“The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm which is not easily disturbed, or else a brokenness that can hardly be healed. Conversely, it is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed in order to produce valuable and lasting results.”

“There are some with whom we may study in common, but we shall find them unable to go along with us to principles. Perhaps we may go on with them to principles, but we shall find them unable to get established in those along with us. Or if we may get so established along with them, we shall find them unable to weigh occurring events along with us.”

“Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.”
