If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.

When you know better you do better.

A person is the product of their dreams. So make sure to dream great dreams. And then try to live your dream.

As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

When was the last time anyone ever told you how important you are?

I like good food. People want a certain taste, but when they're offered something else, they'll overeat. If they really are looking for chicken and someone gives them pork chops, they'll say, "I will have another." And that's because their satisfaction is not reached. So I thought I would make great food, but eat less of it. I tried it and I've taken off over 40 pounds.
