The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.

It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.

God gives everyone a lane and no one can beat you in your lane. Just stay focused on Him and what you are supposed to do. And everything will be alright.

Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work.

Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.

Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.

The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.

You know, people at Wal-Mart are standing there with their uniforms on. I feel like I'm putting on a uniform to do a movie. I don't feel like it's dressing in drag.

A mother’s love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.

Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.

The night glittered brilliantly then.

Never go out to meet trouble. If you just sit still, nine cases out of ten, someone will intercept it before it reaches you.

Too many young African-American and Latino men ended up in jail for nonviolent offenses.

We may never be strong enough to be entirely non-violent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep non-violence as our goal and make steady progress towards it.

Often a sign of expertise is noticing what doesn't happen.

Past the village flowed the river, like time, like life itself, waiting for the swimmer to come again on his way to the climax of his adventurous life, and to the end for which he had been made.

Sports section and a sticky bun. Know what that means.

You gotta lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else.

I regard the inflation acts as wrong in all ways. Personally I am one of the noble army of debtors, and can stand it if others can. But it is a wretched business.

I'm a beast when it comes to anything. I believe in givin' one-hundred-ten percent, anything I do.
