I am grateful for all my victories, but I am especially grateful for my losses, because they only made me work harder.

Now, if I even say the wrong thing I make the news.

How could they say that my religion, Islam was a 'race hate' religion after all the plunder and enslavement and domination of my people by white Christians in the name of white supremacy?

The teachings of Elijah Muhammad on how black people have been brainwashed.How they've been taught to love white and hate black, how we've been robbed of our names in slavery.We were robbed of our culture, we were robbed of our true history. So it left us a walking dead man.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

Truly great people in history never wanted to be great for themselves. All they wanted was the chance to do good for others and be close to God.

I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.
