You cannot find what you do not seek. You cannot grasp when you do not reach. Your dreams won't come up to your front door. You have got to take a leap if you want to soar.

It is okay not to like someone, but it is never okay to try and degrade, humiliate, or dehumanize them.

Leadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example.

The world you see outside of you will always be a reflection of what you have inside of you.

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people. Before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children.

Don't let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something.

When happy, be kind. When angry, be kind. When hopeful, be kind. When discouraged, be kind. When ever, be kind.

No matter what, we always have the power to choose hope over despair, engagement over apathy, kindness over indifference, love over hate.

The right attitude can transform a barrier into a blessing, an obstacle into an opportunity or a stumbling block into a stepping stone.

Give the respect you want to receive; embody the grace you hope to encounter; and help others with no expectations whatsoever.

Give more than is expected, love more than seems wise, serve more than seems necessary, and help more than is asked.

Women ought to feel a peculiar sympathy in the colored man's wrong, for, like him, she has been accused of mental inferiority, and denied the privileges of a liberal education.

Every man over 40 should have a PSA test each year.

Now as before it is the vulgar and the vital and the possibility of its transformation into the beautiful which continues to challenge and fascinate me.

All of those faeries and duels and mad queens and so on, and no one quoted old Billy Shakespeare. Not even once.

I still play the same kit that I used on the very first album. It's an old Tama Superstar that I bought in 1983.

Those who cannot help ought also not advise: in an order where every mousehole has been plugged, mere advice exactly equals condemnation.

If we don't come apart; we will come apart.
