"The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work."
"You cannot be all things to all people. Be unique. Be different. Give to others what you want yourself. And do what you were made to do."
"People who refuse to open their minds to new strategies seldom become rich."

"I've read something that Bill Gates said about six months ago. He said, ‘I worked really, really hard in my 20s.’ And I know what he means, because I worked really, really hard in my 20s too. Literally, you know, 7 days a week, a lot of hours every day. And it actually is a wonderful thing to do, because you can get a lot done. But you can't do it forever, and you don't want to do it forever, and you have to come up with ways of figuring out what the most important things are and working with other people even more."
"A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."
"Civil government is an ordinance of God, to conserve the civil peace of a people, so far as concerns their bodies and goods."
"The greatest force is derived from the power of thought. The finer the element, the more powerful it is. The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders."
"The thing about hip-hop is that it's from the underground, ideas from the underbelly, from people who have mostly been locked out, who have not been recognized."
"Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure.' Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean."
"People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day to day."
"People like me prove that you can survive without romance, even though you end up a bit unbalanced and you tend to argue with your own reflection."
"The same people that tell me what I ought to have is the same people asking for an autograph."
"School is a good place - it ain't for everybody, but I think it's for most people."
"What makes me most happy is connecting with others. I love meeting new people, being social, and engaging in empowering discussions."
"I wouldn't say I wanna conquer the world anymore. But I want to be a part of making the world a better place. I want to inspire people and I wanna be part of the solution."
"Manipulating people, that's what I'm good at"
