You can't allow someone's hate to dictate your life.

Knowing that you're not alone really does make all the difference in the world.

I'm just going to be me.

I want to be the voice for those people who are going through the same thing, like little African American boys and girls getting bullied at school.

There are people creating Photoshopped pictures of me getting beat as if I were a slave back in the day.

Racism really does exist.

I feel like it's almost my purpose to speak up about my experience so it could help somebody else.

Language, when it finally comes, has the vigor of a felon pardoned after twenty-one years on hold. Sudden, raw, stripped to its underwear.

Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objects and principles.

I'm not ok - you're not ok and that's ok.

If parents are the fixed stars in the childs universe, the vaguely understood, distant but constant celestial spheres, siblings are the dazzling, sometimes scorching comets whizzing nearby.

You see Boris Becker, Mats Wilander, Nadal, Pete Sampras - they were all great when they were young. As a coach, you can see that type of talent at an early age.

If you work an extra ten hours to help spread the dharma, this will cause for much faster progression. You're doing something for a higher cause, for a higher ideal.

Take a firm grasp on God’s sovereignty and trust His love even when you don’t understand His purpose.

I guess it's true what they say: if you wait long enough everything changes.

You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.

There can be miracles when you believe.
