Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it.
Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.
Being surrounded by love and people that care about your heart is the dream. That's what I would like on my last day.
Having a Christian worldview shapes my decision-making with respect to all aspects of my life. I always respect people in public life who are principled, and those principles have to be connected to something. And my faith is what serves as the anchor and directs my actions.
It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.
There are people who have money and people who are rich.
Some people come into our life as a blessing, while others come into our life as a lesson, so love them for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not.

Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
