I don't think it's tough to get there mentally. Your mind is saying, 'You know how to do this.' But your body doesn't always respond.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

Be positive and work hard. I think it's possible to overcome anything, if you're willing to work at it.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

You have to be positive, and I'm not just talking about athletics, this also applies to life.

Stop letting others decide your life for you. You only have a lifetime to live on earth. Make it count by all means. Stop hiding in the background. Let the world know what you are truly made of.

You write to find out what you believe.

Until the Donkey tried to clear The Fence, he thought himself a Deer.

You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

Our father taught us how to play. He's also our biggest inspiration and he opened our ears to a lot of older music, like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson, and Fats Domino.

Education for livelihood alone will never make our life full and complete.

I am working here (in Amsterdam) on my last big triptych, which will be a tremendous story, and which gives me a more intense life and exhilaration. My God, life is worth living!

One of the things we've lost as blacks in the United States is imagining different ways the world could be organized, how this country could be organized, how politics could be organized.

I think a woman gets more if she acts feminine.

Stand for right, even if you stand alone.
