Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

America preaches integration and practices segregation.

Malcolm X

All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it's costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.

Anthony Robbins

Your wife is a big hippo! My face is melting! My face is meltinnnnggg!

Terry Pratchett

Whoever possesses God in their being, has him in a divine manner, and he shines out to them in all things; for them all things taste of God and in all things it is God's image that they see.

Meister Eckhart

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Thomas Edward Lawrence (of Arabi

It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.

Giacomo Casanova

I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the Supper, and that we are the pieces. Hence this infinite fraternity of feeling.

Herman Melville

Anyone who considers himself in this way will be seized with terror and, discovering that the mass nature has given him supports itself between two abysses of infinity and nothingness, he will tremble in the face of these marvels; and I believe that as his curiosity changes to admiration, he will be more disposed to contemplate them in silence then search them out with presumption.For, finally, what is man in nature? He is nothing in comparison with the infinite, and everything in comparison with nothingness, a middle term between all and nothing. He is infinitely severed from comprehending the extremes; the end of things and their principle are for him invincibly hidden in an impenetrable secret; he is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he arises and the infinity into which he is engulfed.http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ENLIGHT/PENSEES.HTM

Blaise Pascal, Pens

I've come loaded with statistics, for I've noticed that a man can't prove anything without statistics.

Mark Twain

Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You have to stay focused and be mentally tough. That's what I've really learned: every day is a grind, and you have to go hard.
