People will never forget how you made them feel.

The intensity with which young people live demands that they "blank out" as often as possible.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

In spite of everything that was done to me and my race, in spite of the adversity and the bitter moments, again we rise.

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. So at this wonderful, young age of 65, I don't know yet what the Lord has for me to do. I try to live up to the energy and to the calling, but I wouldn't dare say I have even scratched the surface yet.

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

Just because I am wheelchair-bound doesn't mean I don't get around.
