"Far greater respect have I for the 'loser' who lies bloodied and scarred on the field of battle, than for the neat and tidy critic who judges performance from the saftey of the sideline."
"Do not shun action for fear of failure. Do not evade commitment for fear of rejection. Fear instead the chance never taken, the door never opened, the criticism never shaken. Wear the badges of failure and rejection on your heart with honour, for they are evidence of a soul that dares to risk, to dream, to live. They are signs of a soul that is one failure and rejection closer to joy."
"Do not fear the venomous threats which seek to intimidate from without. Guard against the deceptive whispers that seek to manipulate from within. The greatest foe you will ever face is the frailty and treachery of your own humanity. Gain control of yourself through the empowering breath of your Creator, and you gain a formidable ally in the pursuit of your purpose. A kingdom divided internally, faces inevitable ruin externally."
