The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?

I've been with this young lady for about two years now, and my life changed. I don't even think that way no more. I feel good, too, that I'm changed. Now I feel regular. I feel like I'm supposed to.
Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety.
I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.
I'm a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what's happening to me.
Kindness, tolerance, integrity, modesty, generosity - these are attributes that events permit us. They are our holiday moods, and we are as proud of them as of the fine clothes we have hung away to wear on occasions.
I was always going to church with my mom, dad and sister. I was literally raised under the godly influence both at home and church. There was no alcohol and no smoking at our house.

I guess I'll retire someday if I live that long.
He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again he doesn't know the meaning of most words.
A guy's who has all the money he needs and never faced any hard times, he won't have any character. But when you've had it tough and you've had it rough and you thought you were at the end of the rope and you work your way out of it, that's the way you build character.
Don't go to the grave with life unused!
I would like to tell the young men and women before me not to lose hope and courage. Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you.

It is not often that idealism of student days finds adequate opportunity for expression in the later life of manhood.
We need a spirit of victory, a spirit that will carry us to our rightful place under the sun, a spirit which can recognize that we, as inheritors of a proud civilization, are entitled to our rightful place on this planet. If that indomitable spirit were to arise, nothing can hold us from achieving our rightful destiny.

I don't remember myself to be a forefront fighter, but when pushed to a point with a wall behind me, there is only one way forward. Later you can call it a Rambo syndrome, but I never regret it, as it comes naturally to me, and in my mind, that is the only way.
If it doesn't reach the last poor man, your constitution is wrong.
The fact that I've lived this long is not really an achievement. Time passes; we age... it's natural. This is why it annoys me when a person watches a movie and tells me that it was 'time pass.' Would time not have passed if he hadn't watched the film?
Some, I verily believe, delight to be slave-men; it is a joy to them, and they would not change their condition; not only miserable village wretches, but men in good position, well-to-do sycophants.

It would seem that the ant works its way tentatively, and, observing where it fails, tries another place and succeeds.

Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.
A myth is an old lie that people believe in. White people believe that they're better than anyone else on earth - and that's a myth.
