My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.

It is nerve-wracking watching my kids' games.

Because I want every kid to be viewed as a person rather than as a member of a certain race does not mean that I'm not black enough. . . . Do they want me to be positive just for black kids and negative for everybody else?

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

If you don't back it up with performance and hard work, talking doesn't mean a thing.

Never think of the consequences of failing for you will always think of a negative result. Think only positive thoughts and your mind will gravitate towards those thoughts!

Patience. I will become what I know I am.
