There was a language specific to all things. The ability to learn another language in one arena, whether it was music, medicine, or finance, could be used to accelerate learning and other arenas, too.

You can only depend on yourself. The cavalry aint coming.

This part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.

I just wanted to make a million dollars. But I couldn’t sing and I couldn’t play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’

It’s okay to fail; it’s not okay to quit.

Then again, what seems like nothing in the eyes of the world, when properly valued and put to use, can be among the greatest riches.

The world is your oyster. It’s up to you to find the pearls.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Claim ownership of your dreams.

Ready or not, Tell yourself to jump.

I hold one thing dearer than all else: my commitment to my son.

Don’t ever let someone tell you you can’t do something.

Write your script. When you see things you don’t want, don’t think about them, write about them, talk about them, push against them, or join groups that focus on the don’t wants remove your attention from don’t wants and place them on do wants.

People always say be humble, live humble, and stay humble. When was the last time somebody told you to be great, to be amazing, to be extraordinary?

I came into this world screaming. I plan to leave it quieter, softer and letting everything I’ve done do the talking.

Many people may talk, but only few can practice whatever they have said.

Everyone Is God speaking. Why not be polite and Listen to Him?

Then I will speak upon the ashes.

How Do I Listen to others? As if everyone were my Master Speaking to me His Cherished Last Words.
