Donald L. Hicks

If you give, expecting something in return, it's not really giving at all.If you love, expecting something in return, it's not really loving at all.

My path is not a better path, it is simply a different path.

Love and Fear are polar opposites. Love originates from the soul, while Fear and worries and insecurities originate in the mind. Love is Heavenly, while Fear is Earthly. Love is a gift from Above, Fear is a burden from below.

People can have great riches, but without honesty, they never have true respect.People can have abundant love, but without honesty, they never have real trust.People can have many friends, but without honesty, they never have loyalty.People can have sharp minds, but without honesty, they never have admiration.People can have fame, but without honesty, they never have honor.Without honesty, a person__ light may flicker, but it will never truly shine.Without honesty, people are left with only lies.

You can either choose to walk in light and love, or run in fear and darkness. But with the latter, you're more likely to fall.

Light always overcomes darkness.

A single tiny light creates a space where darkness cannot exist. The light vanquishes the darkness. Try as it might, the darkness cannot conquer the light.

Always let your inner light shine. By doing so, you not only light a path for yourself, but also light a way for others.

No church or synagogue pew can produce a higher awareness of God than sitting at the base of a tree and observing His creation.

So never be embarrassed by mistakes, rather, be thankful for them, because they always present an opportunity for personal growth.

Whether or not you believe in God, He always believes in You!

Through artistry, imagination not only allows one to express their creativity, but also their soul.

Life is not something that happens to us, Life happens through us.

If you follow your passion, it will lead you to fulfillment.

Your words, your thoughts, your imagination: powerful tools. Remember that and use them wisely.

Fears and worries originate in the mind. Love and joy originate from the soul.

Money is an inanimate object. It can do good works or bad works depending on the hands that wield it, and the hearts governing those hands.

Never be afraid to cry. Sometimes, nothing can cleanse the heart more than a few wet tears.
