Criss Jami
A lonely day is God's way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.
Criss Jami
If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.
Criss Jami
A pure heart does not demean the spirit of an individual, it, instead, compels the individual to examine his spirit.
Criss Jami
You think you're losing your mind, but do keep in mind, as long as you may, that the ability to go on thinking such a thing means it's not all gone.
Criss Jami
I am a fan of overdoing something, but not running it into the ground. They are complete opposites with only a fine line separating them.
Criss Jami
An artistic perspective will jab at you from a different angle its logic comes like a pitcher with a curveball.
Criss Jami
The hated man is the result of his hater's pride rather than his hater's conscience.
Criss Jami
Discernment is the son of good judgment and the father of self-control. When mixed with an already clear conscience, the ability to read the true motives of a critic keeps one's conscience both clear and at ease.
