"Thereâ€™s nothing in the world worse than having an opportunity that youâ€™re not prepared for. Good luck usually follows the collision of opportunity and preparation - itâ€™s a result of that collision. Youâ€™ve got to be prepared. So, make your mistakes now and make them quickly. If youâ€™ve made the mistakes, you know what to expect the next time. Thatâ€™s how you become valuable."

-- Quincy Jones

But, what's actually happening is that an actor has given a bunch of ingredients over to a director, who then constructs a performance. That's movie-making.”
“Jesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.”
