America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page of the policies of the past.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

Whoever is new to power is always harsh.

As long as I have a studio with producers, I can make something everyday. And the people know what type of quality it's going to be.

More than an institution, more than a tradition, more than a society, Masonry is one of the forms of Divine life upon earth.

No one knows you better than you know yourself. Do the thing you want. Don't wait for someone else

Affection reproaches, but does not denounce.

There's almost no content in terms of language at all. I don't like using language to convey meaning. I'd rather use images and music.

I can't live without scissors. I don't have any tattoos, but I thought if I ever got a tattoo, it should probably be scissors.

It is a joy to be choked with thought.

This hobble of being alive is rather serious, don’t you think so?
