(This is going to be my last quote for a while). "In all words spoken and all words written, it is what you do that matters." Words work for little wages to supply the human condition, but action pays well to transform human lives.

"We are all ourselves, with others, in order to complete the planet. " We, as a global community, complete each other as we live out the destiny of our lives

"In life, one may be bowed down, only that they may be lifted up." Life knocks us down, but is important that we get back up.

"To know facts is to know man; to know love is to know God. " Facts align us with measure of man, but love aligns us with a measure of God.

"All things were; all things are, and all things will be." All things take place in their due season; this happens, and the cycle repeats.

"One shouldn't blow anything out of proportion, because the original shape is usually just fine." When one blows something out of proportion, the importance of the situation is given exaggerated meaning; therefore, the apparent dimensions of the problem are magnified.

"Don't be obsessed with achieving perfection, for there is no perfection to achieve. " Humans can be excellent, which is achievable; but perfection is impossible.

"The invisible gives way to the visible, and the written Word gives way to the spoken word." That which was established from the beginning produces what we see in the end.

"To live is to express; to express is to proclaim; to proclaim is to be courageous." The vocalization of communication shows the desire to be listened to. When one is listened to, they feel valued.

"When it comes to the civil rights movement, if you aren't connected, you can' t be perfected. " To be connected to a source is to benefit from the adjoining thereof.

"The pen is mightier than the sword; the computer is mightier than the gun." As sure as words on paper have a greater influence than the violence of the sword, the computer, in all its elements has more influence than the violence of the gun.

"The truth is not a lie; a lie is not the truth. " The truth concedes no lie. A lie does not admit the truth. To lie is to avoid the truth. To tell the truth is to extinguish falsehood.

"When it comes to life's battles, if your head ain't in it, you can't win it." Life can be compared to a game of strategy; play to win.

"Don't let others' words bother you, but let your own words empower you." One must believe what is true about themselves, rather than what others' say about them.

"Scarcely will one go beyond the input of their environment, as to overcome all circumstances unto greatness. " Most people stay in the comfort zone of their present environment. To become great requires moving out of the closed environment of comfort to the uncomfortable place of greatness.

"If you remain neutral in life, you will be neutralized." To have no opinion is to have no power.

"Man's creation is also his destruction. " Human beings create out of imperfection, for we are imperfect. With imperfection comes a steady decline toward destruction.

"If you are lost at home, you will be lost everywhere else, too." Home is where the heart is, and your heart's not there, it is nowhere.

"One must have the low-down on the high up." To have experience with righteousness gives a bounty of blessings.

"Love like the overpowering wave of life depends on it." Love is the central purpose of life. Without love, life would be meaningless.

"The harvest of the mind yields delectable food for the soul." The mind, in its imagination, feeds the soul.

"It is better to want what you have than to have what you want. " In having something already brings the steady pleasure of personal ownership; when we desire what we do not have, we have to extend beyond our present circumstances to get what may not be good for us.

"Time connected to action yields change." Time used should be time we'll spent; if it is well spent, positive change will be the result.
