When emerging from humble beginnings, those around you tend to underestimate your authenticity because they knew you before you were 'somebody'.

Image
I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe. How many people blame God for man's atrocities, but wouldn't dream of imprisoning a mother for her son's crime?

A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose. In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth.

One of the Christian's biggest fears is appearing 'too Christian'. God forbid, because that's often characterized as god-awful! We want to be one, but without being 'one of them'.

Anger's like a battery that leaks acid right out of me And it starts from the heart til it reaches my outer me

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.

Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.

A man who loves others based solely on how they make him feel, or what they do for him, is really not loving others at all - but loving only himself.

Let our information and social technologies raise awareness and not propaganda, build connections and not passive-aggression.

Music is not my life. My life is music.

In learning and argumentation, the quality brain is similar to a facility of maximum security. What passes the logic test, free of fallacy and pretense, then must pass the test of biblical accuracy in order to proceed as an adopted, reliable truth.

I claim neither liberalism nor conservatism - one tends to be airheaded while the other tends to be brickheaded.

If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.

Love may be harder to find in some people, but when they do love you know it must be something marvelous.

The best people are always the worst. They drive everyone mad by being so good at second-guessing everything bad.

Happiness is good, but well-overrated: what we hate most are the very motivators that put us in gear. A man drifts along with little to contribute until something agitates him enough to make a difference, whether for himself or for his communities.

Everyone has a natural slant towards seeking themselves. This gets in the way of seeking God unless God intervenes.

It is never ridicule, but a compliment, that knocks a philosopher off his feet. He is already positioned for every possible counter-attack, counter-argument, and retort...only to find a big bear hug coming his way.

Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on
