“We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.”

If we were all just alike, one of us wouldn’t be necessary.

You must learn that you do not have to be angry just because you have the right to be.

If emotional pain or problems have cropped up in your life, you must insist on getting closure. Closure means you don’t carry the problem or the pain. You address the issue, then you slam shut the book and put it away.

Take the high road, there’s a lot less traffic up there.

These are our neighbours, our co-workers, friends’ children, the problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.

Not only the thirsty seek the water, the water as well seeks the thirsty.

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.

You’ll get more from being a peacemaker than a warrior.

If you want to turn a vision into reality, you have to give 100% and never stop believing in your dream.

The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

I believe we are powerful but we don’t use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.
