I don't like to say that my kitchen is a religious place, but I would say that if I were a voodoo priestess, I would conduct my rituals there.
You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.
I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.
The way we're going to get to understanding is for each man to open his heart and open his mind and look in himself as he looks at his neighbor.
I see their souls, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing.
A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.
You must change in order to survive.
People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.
What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.
No one can figure out your worth but you.
My kitchen is a mystical place, a kind of temple for me. It is a place where the surfaces seem to have significance, where the sounds and odors carry meaning that transfers from the past and bridges to the future.
