I'm very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That's my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it's not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.

Death is present every day, but we don't see it until it touches us directly.

避免争论是赢得争论的唯一方法。

I believe that if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.
