Look heavenward and speak the word aloud. Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud. Peace.

We are not our brother’s keeper we are our brother and we are our sister. We must look past complexion and see community.

Life loves the person who dares to live it.

You have to deal with what you encounter. But you must not be reduced. And so a way not to be reduced is don't whine! Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low.

All my work, my life, everything I do is about survival, not just bare, awful, plodding survival, but survival with grace and faith. While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.

You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.

Freedom is never free.
