Tying the little folks with the older folks is a great and powerful tool to preserve and to protect the family and the individual.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

Racism is taught in our society, it is not automatic. It is learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics.

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.

The way to succeed is never quit. Thats it. But really be humble about it.

Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.

Every time an old person dies, it's like a library burning down.

Anytime you see a turtle up on top of a fence post, you know he had some help.

When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.

When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand.

You have to deal with the fact that your life is your life.

Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love…but don’t put your life on hold waiting for love.

The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.

Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.

Sleep is for those people who are broke.

Stupidity is a luxury and you will find time and time and time and again that those who are overwhelmingly on the left are those who can afford to be.

You can always spot a well informed man his views are the same as yours.

Why don't we try falling in love first and then I'll see what happens after that?

Everyone once, once only. Just once and no more. And we also once. Never again. But this having been once, although only once, to have been of the earth, seems irrevocable.

Love is not the absence of logic but logic examined and recalculated heated and curved to fit inside the contours of the heart.

Be not over solicitous about education. It may be able to do much, but it does not do as much as expected from it. It may mould and direct the character, but it rarely alters it.
