As much as it pleases God to bless you, there will be moments when everything you try goes up in smoke. There will be moments when the one you counted on most walks away and leaves you groping through blinding tears and wailing questions of why. Plans and goals can be circumvented by the most disappointing of times, leaving you learning the art of patience and the acceptance of a denied request.

You will never understand pleasure without pain.

Nobody wants to stand behind a parked car. You got to always follow somebody who keeps it moving.

Comfort is the enemy of creativity.

You are no stronger than your belief system.

I would tell your generation, wherever you are on the totem poll - whether you're halfway there or at the bottom, don't despise small beginnings; small beginnings get you ready for great things.

Success is not success without a successor.
