The only person to influence the direction and purpose of your life is the one who gave it. God!

If you are someone who dislikes, condemns and rejects new ideas, you aren’t fit to lead.

You can’t shower happiness on others without getting few drops back on yourself.

You can’t afford to limit your joy. It has been proven several times that angry people are never happy people.

Anyone who wants to prevent you from making other people happy is an enemy. If you are stopping yourself from making others happy, you are your own enemy.

You put your own joy in prison if you work hard to make other people’s happiness suffocate.

Do what you can with all love and passion irrespective of whether it pays you well or not. Joy in the result lives longer than the joy in the reward.

The essence of one life is empowering another life, and so your passion has to be linked to the liberation of other people’s happiness.

Hatred is a burden that can hunt you day by day, robbing you off your personal joy in broad day light.

Haters can never rejoice especially when their enemy wins. The moment you can’t be happy when someone wins, watch yourself. That habit is not good for you.

Sometimes, people don’t need our monies and our treasures. All they need is our encouragements to give them hope.

You will begin to see your life as an opportunity to share the special gift you alone can bestow upon the world.

It's terrible what's going on in Chicago.

The men who make history have not time to write it.

The aftermath of this extraordinary election [2016] could be just as surprising as the race itself.

I have always believed that when you're feeling sorry for yourself, the best thing to do is help someone else.

Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.
