• My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate him in "public." Most of us live in some sort of public capacity-many of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined-taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves-so that we can say, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me."

  Charles Spurgeon

  Christian, Live Life, Taken

It's brutal sometimes! But, if I did it, ANYONE can do it. I mean, I always knew I was meant to do something really BIG in life, and now I know that this was it. Screw winning an Academy Award someday ... I GAVE BIRTH

• Follow your passion, we’re often told. But how do you find your passion? Let me put it another way: what is it that breaks your heart about the world? It’s there that you begin to find what moves you. If you want to find your passion, surrender to your heartbreak. Your heartbreak points towards a truer north — and it’s the difficult journey towards it that is, in the truest sense, no mere passing idyllic infatuation, but enduring, tempestuous passion.

  Umair Haque

• Funny how things change when you got a liquor in ya:
  You're quicker with the tongue, givin' me rhythm now.
  Block the music and the people out to admire the love,
  The nerve of us...impervious to the entire club.
  And like marijuana shotguns, let's blow this joint,
  It's pointless to stay here, so let me anoint.

• Day in and day out we do the same thing,
  Tryina find the joy in our repetition.

  Come hell or high water you can count on the sun
  Always shinin' in its untamed glory.

• Mindless violence, well let me try to paint it.
  Here's the 5 steps in hopes to explain it:

  3, Then me and my Fam against the Clan
  4, Then me and my Brother, we no hesitation
  Go against the Fam until they cave in
  5, Now who's left in this deadly equation?
  
  That's right, it's me against my Brother
  Then we point a Kalashnikov
  And kill one another.
