The creation of the spiritual was no accident. It was a creation born of necessity, so that the slave might more adequately adjust himself to the conditions of the New World.

It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.

Honest communication is built on truth and integrity and upon respect of the one for the other.

It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.

It is not your environment, it is you- the quality of your mind, the integrity of your soul and the determination of your will that will decide your future and shape your life.

I believe everyone is born into the world to do something unique and distinctive.

It isn't more light we need, it isn't more truth, and it isn't more scientific data. It is more Christ, more courage, more spiritual insight to act on the light we have.
