What holds most people back isn't the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves.

Your purpose is to act on the resources God gives you. If God gives you a bucket of fish, you have to distribute those fish. If you don't, they're going to rot, attract a bunch of flies, and start stinking up your soul.

Poverty and lack of knowledge must be challenged.

If you aren't passionate about a vision, it's hard to have faith in it.

Suffering will always be there. You'll always have the poor. You have to own your own progress. It is true that because of the economy and the fear factor the president [Barack Obama] is able to execute a lot of promises that it would be difficult to deliver it not for the fear factor. It's funny. He's delivering on what he promised and we call it fear.

The world belongs to the people who say, 'I can'.

You have to learn to laugh all the time. It's a practice of life. It's a practice of happiness.
