I never had that feeling that I had to carry the weight of somebody's ignorance around with me. And that was true for racists who wanted to use the 'n' word when talking about me or about my people, or the stupidity of people who really wanted to belittle other folks because they weren't pretty or they weren't rich or they weren't clever.

You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.

We can only know where we're going if we know where we've been.

Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

Not everything you do is going to be a masterpiece, but you get art there and you try and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.

Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.
