1 " Some people go to places for the pictures. I go to places for the people. "
― Drue Grit
2 " In life there are things and then there are 'thangs.' I just so happen to be a thang. "
3 " When you went away, I feel like I lost my best friend. "
4 " Anyone who talks hatefully about themselves or others is not in the right place to offer the world advice. "
5 " Love heals what time cannot. "
6 " A lover and a fighter — the last of a dying breed. "
7 " You win some, you lose some. You try and sometimes fail. You grind, grin, and win. You love and remember loss. Everyday is a new day. Every moment another chance. Every road a new sight. All that matters is that you keep going. Stay as present as you can. Spend your time well. Choose your emotions as much as you can. But above all, choose love as much as you can. Forgive sincerely. Laugh fully. Hug closely. Kiss deeply. Leave nothing unsaid. Look straight into stars and sunsets and tears. Hold on. Hold each other. Hold close to all that matters to your heart. To dreams and smiles and people. The rodeo is life. You’re the rider. Saddle up, ride hard, and hold on tight. But whatever you do. Just keep on riding. "
8 " Everyone wants be a gangster until it’s time to do some 'gangster sh**': Say it to their face. Say you’re sorry. Forgive someone. Tell someone you love them. Show them why. Let shit go. Admit when you’re wrong. Be a better winner. Be a better loser. Help another human being. Break bread with your enemy. Open up your heart. Understand your feelings. Say what you actually feel. Do what you say. Tell the truth. Do the right thing. Choose forgiveness over revenge. Choose kindness over stones. Accept people as they are. Take the higher road. Be the change you want to see. "
9 " You don’t need to be an overachiever, you just need to be a quality achiever. "
10 " I’m that man and I know it. I’m shamelessly all heart. Lover and a fighter. Last of a dying breed. I’m at peace with it. I have pride with it. Because the best thing I can be — is me. I know this, I own this, and I want to help others become the best them. The way is kindness, the way is compassion. To see see one for who they are and to see them become all they can be. That is the way. The way is love. "

12 " Wanna know a secret? I’m all service with a smile cause I know I’m killin’em softly with kindness and success. I know who’s supported me — I know who hasn’t. I know who’s lifted me — I know who’s tried to hold me down. Nothing stops me and I don’t forget nothing. I know who I am, where I been, and better yet? I know where I’m going. You see it, I see it, and it’s not a matter of when — it’s a matter of how far. "
13 " Love is at the center of humanity. It’s what makes us human and what makes us beautiful. It’s what makes us strong, resilient, and compels us to do the right thing. Love is a way of life — it is more than just a feeling. Love is an action, an art, and the deep desire to see others grow to their greatest capacity. To see ourselves grow to our greatest capacity. Love is what makes us truly us, and what makes this country great. It is what makes us patriotic in our mission for life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. We need to rise above our desire to compete, so we can step up for our souls’ need to serve. "
14 " All great love stories have great pain. You were worth it. "
15 " You see, for an American, whiskey is sweeter in Paris. "
16 " There are no comparisons. You were born an original. Don’t live like a copy. The world has enough beautiful pictures. What the world needs is more beautiful people. Real beauty comes from within. And what you are, is beyond enough. Talk your light, walk your light, shine your light. "
17 " In a country addicted to the virus of consumption, wealth, individualism, and judgement — be a person who is committed to the act of serving with love. To the act of spreading love. To serving with love. To uplifting with love. United we stand, divided we fall. Choose your part. Choose leadership. Be a leader, not a follower. You were born an original. Don’t die a copy. Freedom ain’t free and that just so happens to be the problem and the answer to the solution. All men are created equal but not treated equal. The only thing that is free is love, and love with conditions is not love. Liberty and life with conditions is not liberty and life. Ask more of your country and your countrymen. Protect all American’s rights to true freedom. Not the declaration of freedom but the actualization of freedom, which includes true liberty, true equality and the unconditional ability to pursue the highest virtues of life. "
18 " Life should be a daring, loving, laughing adventure — or it is nothing at all. If you don’t start choosing, life and circumstance will choose for you. You can change or stay the same. You can grow or never leave the nest. All of life becomes about our choices. We choose our people, we choose our ways, we choose our thoughts, and we choose how we seize or surrender our days. Every day, every moment, and every thought is about choice. So everyday you must make your choices. Life isn’t ever really about what happens to us, but how we respond to life. My way of life is simple; I want to be the most loving, inspiring, and true man I can be. Everyday, I want to be the man that I truly am. But I am consciously and constantly working on that and my choices. So, instead of choosing fear, I am choosing courage. Instead of choosing pain, I am choosing compassion. Instead of choosing hurt, I am choosing kindness. I choose to forgive more, to laugh more, and to listen more. Even cry more. Because I have learned that the truest act of living is no different from the act of loving — it’s all about what you give, not what you think you’ll receive. And what you should give to your life and love — is everything. "
19 " Life can be the scariest thing in the world. It can also be the most incredible thing in the world. The difference is you. The difference is in you. In your attitude. That means how you live. That means how you fear. That means how you love.There is a power within these elements to both change and guide your entire life. They are always at war and they are always present. Learn to make life through your attitude. Learn to live your life in love. Learn to love your life through your attitude. To be the change you wish to see. It begins and ends with you. Choose to be your best you. "
20 " I write from experience, and then I add fiction. "
