In the beginning I loved being famous but now I am tired of it and I would like to go back to my freedom.

The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job to teach. His first school his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him.

I know I'm talented but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do but it's not where it begins and ends.

The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But when we turn further and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise then all begins to grow clear and legible.

President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family.

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.

The ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings remains locked in a seed. There it lies the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls faith rather than reason.

When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day then the battle is your calling and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.

Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom but the ultimate wisdom which deals with beginnings remains locked in a seed. There it lies the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.

When did we begin to lose faith in our ability to effect change?

In properly organized groups no faith is required what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.

Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living. It is the beginning place the foundation upon which more can be built. Where trust is love can flourish.

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.

Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career or your life.

Learning starts with failure the first failure is the beginning of education.

In politics what begins in fear usually ends in failure.

Greatly begin. Though thou have time but for a line be that sublime. Not failure but low aim is crime.

To begin to think with purpose is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.

Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence and the downward spiral begins.

A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.

People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning there will be no failure.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently.

A man can fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
