Poverty within is as dangerous as poverty without. Power works best in the hands of those who don't want it. Praise can be your most valuable asset as long as you don't aim it at yourself. Prayer does not cause faith to work, faith causes prayer to work. Prayer is the key to Heaven, but faith unlocks the door.
Presence is more than just being there.
If your absence doesn't make any difference, your presence won't either. Pride is something we have. Vanity is something others have. Problems are only opportunities in work clothes. Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the ark.
