Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.

God sings, we hum along, and there are many melodies, but it's all one song - one same, wonderful, human song.

You're not going to get to college - you're not even going to be qualified, even to go to a community college, if you don't address the basic problem of literacy in America. And there's no reason - no reason - for us to have that problem.

Something is always happening somewhere.

Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, 'Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person i want to be? Is today the day I die?

There is a reason God limits man's days.

All who are born are always dying.
