Never trust the translation or interpretation of something without first trusting its interpreter.

Stand up for what is right even if it means standing alone.

Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.

Teach all men to fish, but first teach all men to be fair. Take less, give more. Give more of yourself, take less from the world. Nobody owes you anything, you owe the world everything.

Selflessness. Humility. Truthfulness. These are the three marks of an honorable man.

Control your vibrations and you are the master of your own harmony.

Time has always been the greatest ally to Truth, because Time eventually relieves and reveals all.

Your heart has a powerful little antenna and its vibrations can be felt throughout the universe.

Truth will never imprison you. Only the repression of your conscience will. This is what is meant by 'THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE'.

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.

Though we be active in the battle, if we are not fighting where the battle is the hottest, we are traitors to the cause.

Good luck - it's always ready to use in case.

Sometimes you want to run away Sometimes you think you do But you never had a dream like this before And you don't want to ask for more Sometimes you leave a mark Before you know the score

I know there's Brooklyn and all the boroughs, but Manhattan specifically is so condensed that the energy is very vibrant. Everywhere you look there is something happening.

I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.
