Seems right now, that all I have done in my life was making my way here to you.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.

Love is a kind of patience.

I'm the worst thing since Elvis Presley to do black music so selfishly.

The mind is always in the business of making life work.
