"Would you believe in what you believe in if you were the only one who believed it?"
"Even a broke clock is right twice a day"
"Life is 5% what happens, and 95% how you react."
"As we live, our hearts turn colder. Cause pain is what we go through, as we become older. We get insulted by others, lose trust for those others. We get back stabbed by friends. It becomes harder for us to give others a hand. We get our heart broken by people we love, even that we give them all we have. Then we lose family over time. What else could rust the heart more over time? Blackgold."
"This is my life homie, you decide yours"
