I'm not a gangster, I don't have no desire to be hard.

I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection

Tables turn, bridges burn, you live and learn.

No matter how dirty your past is, your future is still spotless.

Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in life, not to change things but just to feel things twice

Guess you lose some & win some, long as the outcome is income.

Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

Crazy how you gotta wait until it's dark out to see who really with you.

Over time you realize that some people just aren't worth it anymore.

Never say that you regret something, because at one point in your life, you wanted it.

Courageous people run toward the problem rather than away from it.

Each truth we find (in life) leads us a step closer to God.

To make the world. To make it again and again. To make it in the very maelstrom of its undoing.

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.

Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.

Government remains the paramount area of folly because it is there that men seek power over others - only to lose it over themselves.

I imagine it was much different in the 1970s. That was the Renaissance for black actors, albeit in blaxploitation movies. There was a much greater preponderance of work then than there is now.

Choreography is simpler than you think. Just go and do, and don't think so much about it. Just make something interesting.

...you can't let something that'll probably never happen ruin your life. You're only helping to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy

If future competitiveness depends on treating people as an important part of the institution, the least respectful thing I can imagine doing to a human being is asking him to urinate in a cup.
