I went to sleep dreaming of Malawi, and all the things made possible when your dreams are powered by your heart.

Trust Yourself and Believe, Whatever Happens Don't Give Up.

I looked at my father and looked at those dry fields [in Malawi]. It was the future I couldn't accept.

I will always be looking back at the things I've gone through, thinking of the struggling people I've seen.

Don't insult me today just because I'm poor, you don't know what my future holds!

One thing that has helped me to become patient and cool is that I grew up with sisters.

BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE miracles of science, magic ruled the world.

My voice sounded like one of the guinea fowl that screeched in our trees as it pooped, but I never let that stop me.

Chief Wimbe also loved his cat, which was black and white but had no name. In Malawi, only dogs are given names, I don't know why.

When you go to see the lake, you also see the hippos.

Be my God, so I can just be me.

You have to keep taking the next necessary stitch, and the next one, and the next. Without stitches, you just have rags. And we are not rags.

I found my love when I was 17-years-old and my love is one hundred percent honest. We've never had any ugly, rocky things to overcome.

In order to turn around and do something better, we must first escape the vicious circle of self-righteousness and denial. And that calls for the humility to say "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Life's too short to wear high heels.

But by all means, keep moving.

It's in the struggle itself that you define yourself.

I am aware that I preach a religious doctrine understood and accepted by a very small part of the religious world, when I point out the relation of the religious concept to physical fitness.

If you're gonna be a failure, at least be one at something you enjoy.

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
