Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.

I keep sailing on in this middle passage. I am sailing into the wind and the dark. But I am doing my best to keep my boat steady and my sails full.

I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.

If I were to say, 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said, 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.
