“Isn’t she lovely made from love?”

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.

Just because a record has a groove don’t make it in the groove.

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.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn’t mean he lacks vision.

I’m a work in progress, but if I know in my heart that I’m doing my best, that my heart’s in the right place, that I have unconditional love, I feel okay.

Gun violence is real. People don’t come back.

Here is my music. It is all I have to tell you how I feel. Know that your love keeps my love strong.

Problems have solutions.

We all know that love is truly the key. Anyone who tries to make anyone think that things of destruction has anything to do with God or Allah, they’re a liar.

When you’re moving in the positive, your destination is the brightest star.

I feel thankful to God, first and foremost, allowing me to enjoy this ‘smell the roses’ kind of thing.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don’t mean that egotistically – I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

If we begin to stop spewing the negative and really move into using our voices and our pens and our abilities that we have to reach millions of people to the positive, we can make a difference in the world.

Love’s in need of love today, don’t delay send yours in right away.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

The infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.

I’m not really a flirt; I just try to be myself.

May I ask your name, my lady? Or perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces.

Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.

You and I flirt in ways they don’t know exist.

How can you be in hell while you are in my heart?

The TV doesn’t work; lets just watch each other instead.

Sure, there are oceans and seas and magnificent things – but none of them are you.
