I hope that you will learn to take responsibility for your decisions. Don't take counsel of your fears.
Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.
I think the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of reality because illusion never leaves us ultimately happy.
I'm very interested in heritage restoration, and I'm working with a group of people to create a number of academies and performance spaces to encourage native arts and crafts and to explore African history.
Apologetic explanations do not develop unless there is a reality that has to be explained and defended. Jesus was undeniably a figure of history.
For the earliest period of the history of Israel, all that precedes the building of the temple, not a trace can be found of any sanctuary of exclusive legitimacy.
I think a lot of people came into rock n' roll to try to change the world. I came into rock n' roll to make music.
Punk was more based on social change than on music, so it didn't bother me too much. It wasn't really a musical threat.
Christmas was the one time of year when my brothers surfaced at home, when my parents and grandparents congregated to eat my mother's roast turkey.
My dad being a DJ, I heard all the hits, no matter what. My mom always had on the radio because my dad was on it.
Because success is such a weasel word anyway, it's such a horribly American word, and it's such a vamp and, I think it's a death trap.
While pimples are not as simple as too much milk or sugar in your diet, both have a significant impact. Nutritional deficiencies as well as excesses can worsen acne.
Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.
I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.
Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.
But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.
I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well, I guess all my dreams didn't come true.
Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz... all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music.
My big chip is that I never had an education. I wanted my children to get one so they didn't fall into the same trap as me.
When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing.
It's hard to say, 'I don't believe in God.' I would love to know if God exists. But it's a very difficult thing for me to believe.
