“Every human being was born with an inherent gift, and that gift is their gift to humanity; they are supposed to serve humanity in the area of their gifting.”

It’s safer to do nothing and know why you doing it, than to do something and don’t know why you do it.

No one came to earth empty; everybody came with a contribution to make to their generation. Most of them never find that gift and even more die never releasing it.

You are capable of much more than you are presently thinking, imagining, doing or being.

Purpose is when you know and understand what you were born to accomplish. Vision is when you see it in your mind and begin to imagine it

Your existence is evidence that this generation needs something that your life contains.

We were placed on earth to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose is what gives meaning to our lives, you were sent to the world to make an impact and make a difference.

The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live. And most people are concerned about growing old rather than being effective.

Your faith is only as strong as the test it survives.

The people who have impacted the world didn’t live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.

Attitude creates your world and designs your destiny.

Your future is not ahead of you, it’s trapped within you.

I discovered that success has very little to do with education or race or disposition; it has more to do with principles and following those principles.

The greatest failure in life is being successful in the wrong assignment.

Failure is not the absence of success. Failure is the neglect of trying.

You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out

I took him like the major challenge of my life, and pretty soon I’m beating him and we are pushing each other so hard, so fierce. But out of the arena, we are friends.

I come from nowhere Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days Williamsburg is kind of a hip area, but when I grew up there, the taxi drivers wouldn’t even go over the bridge, it was so dangerous.

Any writer likes to be near the area which is the location of his work.

Creativity and innovation are something you can’t flowchart out. Some things you can, and we do, and we’re very disciplined in those areas. But creativity isn’t one of those.

Segregations, by which I mean people living in a certain area, was a planned system.

My use of evenly repeated dots and diagonal lines and uninflected color areas suggest that my work is right where it is, right on the canvas, definitely not a window into the world.

Sanity lies somewhere between the inhibitions of conventional morality and the looseness of extreme impulse, but the area in-between is very fuzzy.

Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy… music is so helpful in that area of life.
