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.

Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.

Hold onto your dreams ’cause they’re always worth havin’. Hold on to your dreams til the day your life is said and done.

No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. I had tremendous hope in me.

Hope is patience with the lamp lit.

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

Hope never stops at all.

Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.
