Neither wit nor beauty nor riches can conquer misery, only kindness can.

I trust the man, much less the men, not at all the crowd.

My meanness has an ego too, often bigger than my own.

We not only don’t have fun with what we are supposed to enjoy, but whatever we don’t enjoy has started having fun with us.

Create a tomorrow that has more than just one day in it.

Don’t ask me to distance myself from the person I cannot become.

How will I ever learn to forget what I can no longer delete?

Living one floor below Paradise.

Unfortunately I never learnedhow to touch my truth without breaking it.

I am more free than I think and more enslaved than I fear.

I am the product of any imperfection of mine I have never used to make my life better.

Ceasing to believe caused a permanent scar in the place where one's faith had been, making it impossible to forget.

Try not to say, 'I'm a failure.' Instead, ask, 'What can I do better? What did I do wrong?' Then re-approach.

An opportunity to honor the legacy of the lives drawn into the lines in my face, the broad of my nose, the dark of my eyes, the fullness of my lips, and coal in my complexion.

When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They're sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.

Courtesy is the one coin you can never have too much of or be stingy with.

Why is it that the U.S. has to take refugees? Why doesn't Saudi Arabia take more.

The scandalous bronze-lacquer age of hungry animalisms, spiritual impotences, and mendacities, will have to run its course, till the pit follow it.

It is the nature of truth to struggle to the light.
