There are three methods to gaining wisdom. The first is reflection, which is the highest. The second is limitation, which is the easiest. The third is experience, which is the bitterest.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

Remember, when God is executing His plan in our lives, He also designs and arranges events which continue to unfold until His purpose is revealed.

I bought a lifetime pass on American Airlines and had a blast. The most memorable was going to Barcelona on a whim and scalping tickets at the Olympics to the Dream Team Quarterfinals.

It's been a crazy whirlwind, but I'm so blown away by God's hand on my life.

You're not a product of your nature. That is your genetic makeup or your nurture, the things that have happened to you. Of course those things affect you powerfully, but they do not determine you.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

I helped start a ceramics company called CPS Technologies. We took it public in 1987 at $12 a share. Three months later, there was this horrible cliff: Black Monday. Fidelity had bought 15 percent of our stock, and their algorithm caused them to dump it all onto the market that day. We dropped from $12 to $2.

God chose me for a reason. My momma tells me that every day. I know there's a million people who want to be in my shoes.
