Quotes on Goodreads

You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, but not what I've been through.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

Faith is why I'm here today and faith is why I made it through.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

It's better to have a few faithful friends than numerous shallow friendships.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

Look for the heart in a man before you look at what he has.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

Instead of treating your child like how you were treated. Treat them with the same love and attention you wanted from your parents while growing up.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

Faith doesn't get you around problems in life and relationships, it gets you through it.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

If two people are meant for one another, that doesn't mean that they have to rush and be together right away. Real love takes time to grow, just like how it takes time to grow from children to adults.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

Stop worrying about being that perfect person because no one is perfect. Put your focus on being that right person that will love, understand, and care for that other.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

Faith is why I'm here today and faith is why I believe I can achieve something in my life.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

Do you consider yourself a blessing or just another person?

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

The best foundation for relationships to grow, flourish, and succeed is a deep-rooted friendship.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: The Unthinkable

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond who you were.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Neglected But Undefeated

It's risky most of the time, but its better to listen to your heart.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett, Friends 2 Lovers: Closed Doors Open

I live to inspire, not start the fire.

— Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Strong relationships come from well-bonded friendships.
