Get out of the way as quickly as you're not needed.

To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

Happiness is not a goal it is a byproduct.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart

A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt...

There are only 2 paths to happiness in life. Utter Stupidity or Exceptional Wealth.

Education inspires the educated to think for themselves. Schooled programs the schooled to work for others.

What are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend?

In this perilous world, if a black boy wanted to live a halfway normal life and die a natural death he had to learn early the art of how to get along with white folks.

If you do good work, it tends to stick around. People still come up to me and say, "'The Ref' is my favorite Christmas movie."

Each person is a really a great treasure house of capacities, possibilities, energies.

It is quite a thing. There are so many men, all endlessly trying to sweep me off my feet. And there is one of you, trying just the opposite. Making sure my feet are firm beneath me lest I fall.

Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don't let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big.

All growth starts at the end of your comfort zone.
