Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.

We live in the world when we love it.

Clouds come floating into my life from other days no longer to shed rain or usher storm but to give colour to my sunset sky.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free.

It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy.

Reach out for the heavenly blessings!

I know O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself. That is not in a man who walks to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23

I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.

And I don't think that success can be measured by how many TV shows you're on.

I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.

I bear a little more than I can bear.

I might screw up, I might embarrass you, I might yell at you, but I will never, ever stop loving you. You're my first born. The first time I held you... I fell in love so hard it cracked my bones.

When is black America going to forgive white America for slavery?

No matter how good or bad we may feel, no matter how up or down we may be, Christ loves us, accepts us, and thinks the world of us.

No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
