Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

When you know you are of worth, you don't have to raise your voice, you don't have to become rude, you don't have to become vulgar; you just are. And you are like the sky is, as the air is, the same way water is wet. It doesn't have to protest.

I suggest that the great art belongs to all people, all the time--that indeed it is made for the people, by the people, to the people.

Remember this: When you cross my doorstep, you have already been raised. With what you have learned...you know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. Don't anybody raise you from the way you have been raised. Know you will have to make adaptations, in love, in relationships, in friends, in society, in work, but don't let anybody change your mind.

Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.

I know something better is on the road for me.
