We're not trying to raise good kids. We're trying to raise kids who become great adults. That's a very different thing. We all know parents who had kids that when they turned 18 left the house and went nuts.

In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at halftime.

I had always been able to make people laugh in school, so I really developed that and worked on it and I got pretty good at it and it turned into a career.

If one makes a mistake, then an apology is usually sufficient to get things back on an even keel. However-and this is a big ‘however’- most people do not ever know why their apology did not seem to have any effect. It is simply that they did not make a mistake they made a choice…and never understood the difference between the two.

For centuries, dreams have been used to communicate instruction and direction to people of purpose - great men and women. God used dreams to prepare Joseph for his future as a leader of nations. He gave battle plans to Gideon in a dream. Joan of Arc, Jacob, George Washington, Marie Curie, and the apostle Paul were all guided by their dreams.

Everybody wants to make a difference, but nobody wants to be different. And you simply cannot have one without the other.

Adversity builds muscle. Adversity creates strength. Adversity, it turns out, is preparation for success.

Curiously, a principle affects your life whether you are aware of it or not. For instance, the principle of gravity was working long before the apple ever fell on Newton's head. But once it did, and he understood it, then we as a society were free to harness this principle to create, among other things, airline flight.

A life filled with opportunities and encouragement finds more and more opportunities and encouragement, and success becomes inevitable.

While public opinion might sway back and forth, right and wrong do not.

By your hand, millions - billions - of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.

Every man of character will have that character questioned. Every man of honor and courage will be faced with unjust criticism, but never forget that unjust criticism has no impact whatsoever upon the truth. And the only sure way to avoid criticism is to do nothing and be nothing.
Andy Andrews
In desperate times, much more than anything else, folks need perspective. For perspective brings calm. Calm leads to clear thinking. Clear thinking yields new ideas. And ideas produce the bloom...of an answer. Keep your head and heart clear. Perspective can just as easily be lost as it can be found.
Andy Andrews
Remember, young man, experience is not the best teacher. Other people's experience is the best teacher. By reading about the lives of great people, you can unlock the secrets to what made them great.
Andy Andrews
It's time to stop letting your history control your destiny.

I started finding humor in everything. I used to watch a lot of TV, and I finally figured I didn't need to watch TV to find funny stuff. I just watch the commercials. I mean, the commercials just blew my mind.

WHAT a person thinks is determined by HOW a person thinks.

Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.

I am not a Christian author. I am an author who is a Christian. While my books reflect my faith, they are not intended as teaching tools for a Christian audience per se. My books are stories created around principles that work for everyone and they work every time.

I start every day making sure I'm where I need to be and thinking like I need to think.

I just think it’s amazing that a person could lose everything, chasing nothing.
