“First of all, I’m no better than the next person.”

We have to be respectful to one another.

This is like one thing that I’ve tried to do, and I think successfully, that when you realize that nothing really belongs to you, you begin to appreciate having an understanding of just where your head is at, and you feel so much better.

Fear’s what puts dreams to sleep.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I’ve given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

It feels better to love than to hate.

We all have hearts. If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.

The power has to be in your desire to see everyone thrive.

I know that there’ll be a continuation of making the world more accessible for people with disabilities.

The most important thing is, when I do give the music, I’m satisfied with it, that it speaks for what I want to do.

The Lord that I serve says the impossible is unacceptable.

Of all the needs that we have right now, more than anything we need a time for love.

God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.

You can’t base your life on other people’s expectations.

Why has there never been a holiday where peace is celebrated all throughout the world?

There are a lot of things happening that show us that this, right now, is a time to love.

When I was a child, kids used to make fun of me because I was blind. But I just became more curious, ‘How can I climb this tree and get an apple for this girl?’ That’s what mattered to me.

I always inspired by the doubt of being an average person. 

I can reach people the average person can’t reach because I’m as grounded as I am.

You truly are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with.

Average people can’t stand with people who are chasing success.

Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.

I am only an average man, but by George, I work harder at it than the average man.

If I’m going to be anything more than average, if anyone is going to remember me, then I need to go further, in art, in life, in everything!

All I knew is that I never wanted to be average.
