Never
(page 14)
Never lie when the truth is more profitable.
Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.
Greet every morning with open arms and say thanks every night with a full heart. Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.
When I was about five, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and since then it's just been a stronghold in my life. Really, through the shark attack and all the hard times that my family and I went through, it gave us unity and perseverance to push through all this crazy stuff that we never knew was going to happen.
I have never written that there is a threat of fascism in America. I always considered the idea overwrought. But now I believe there really is such a threat — and it will come draped not in an American flag, but in the name of tolerance and health.

People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.

We also need to find ways of growing economies so that the growth creates good jobs, especially for young people, especially for women, especially for the poorest who have been excluded from the economic system.
Why do I pray? Because I never know what's going to pop out of my mouth.
Other kids did drugs; I did crafts. I never knew where I fit in.
There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.
I never really do much research before signing a film. It is just the script and character that I concentrate on.
Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
However, people need to understand that it ain't that deep to try and convince people of what your persona is. You are who you are, and what you are will show in time. What you aren't can be hidden, but eventually it will come to light. Long story short: rappers should never take themselves too seriously.
The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.
Never comment on a woman's rear end. Never use the words 'large' or 'size' with 'rear end'. Never. Avoid the area altogether. Trust me.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
