I didn't want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, 'Why did you do that?' This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

I don't have to be what you want me to be.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.

We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.

Life is a lot easier when you realize that you're not in control of it all.
