“It's easier to maintain a good character than to recover it when it's gone bad!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling conventions. We weren’t indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated. But this strategy alone couldn't provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerant. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
Barack Obama

“Without the support from religion--remember, we talked about it--no father, using only his own resources, would be able to bring up a child.”

Napoleon Hill

“God says in Zechariah 4:6, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit” (NKJV).”

Bruce Lee

“When there’s no turning back, your instincts will lead you forward.”
T.D. Jakes

“Finally, there are the dangers inherent in any autobiographical work: the temptation to color events in ways favorable to the writer, the tendency to overestimate the interest one’s experiences hold for others,”
Barack Obama

“Don't give up the fight. Don't dim out the light. Those who at first don't believe in you, will soon begin to ask you "how did you do it?” Keep it up!”
Israelmore Ayivor

“He cannot ravish; He can only woo.”
C.S. Lewis

“Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow-men by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.”
John F. Kennedy

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you will never get it done”
Bruce Lee

“LOVE is made up of a strong affection and patience whiles LUST is made up of a strong affection and impatience. Affection is common to them, but patience is not common.”
Israelmore Ayivor
