Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth for as a rule they make many others die with them often before them at times instead of them.

Nothing in life prepares you to be famous.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life right?

Everything happens for a reason. I'm used to it I prepare for it. Like I say at the end of the day those in charge of their own destiny are going to do what's right for them and their family.

Skepticism riddling the faith of yesterday prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.

First I prepare. Then I have faith.

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads round and green these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.

Failure is nature's plan to prepare you for great responsibilities.

I wish I had been more prepared both for success and for failure when I was younger.
