| The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude. |
| If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit. |
| I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life. |
| Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi. |
| Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. |
| So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground. |
| The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. |
| I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me. |
| You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it. |
| Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself. |
| Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. |

| My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment. |
| Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. |
| Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. |
| When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes. |
| It's much easier for me to make major life, multi-million dollar decisions, than it is to decide on a carpet for my front porch. That's the truth. |
| Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. |
| When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. |
