When I woke up in the morning and look in the mirror I realise that one of the reasons I don't own a handgun is, I would have shot my thighs off years ago.
Taking care of your body, no matter what your age, is an investment.
You can't accomplish anything worthwhile if you inhibit yourself
I look at problems as opportunities and use every person, every incident, and every encounter as an opportunity to show a more loving part of myself.
If you're blessed enough to grow older, which is how I look at aging, there's so much wisdom to be gained from people who are celebrating the process with vibrancy and vigor and grace.
The expectation of my life was that I might be able to work for some good white folks. Now I got some good white folks working for me.
An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Failure is a stepping-stone to greatness.
I decided to be the best and the smartest.
God can dream a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself, and your role on Earth is to attach yourself to that divine force and let yourself be released to it.
You are the single biggest influence in your life.
Once you clarify your purpose for doing something, the way to do it becomes clear
You are where you are in life because of what you believe is possible for yourself.
Your life's work is to find your life's work-and then to exercise the discipline, tenacity, and hard work it takes to pursue it
