What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time.
No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.
Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits — we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists — to protect them and to promote their common welfare — all else is lost.
I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large.
I wish that more people, especially young people, were taught about self-love at a younger age.
Propaganda is amazing. People can be led to believe anything.
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
My philosophy is it's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
I believe it's our responsibility to show our communities the value of all people, to celebrate different, and to take a stand for acceptance and inclusion.
My little dog, he did not get ill. It is so funny that people get ill on a boat and dogs do not.
I like that there's no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there's no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.
You work hard, you sacrifice for everything you do, and in one second, someone can tarnish your name — someone can bad-mouth you, and someone can say things. People let all of the good things gets washed away because someone spoke ill of them.
You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that's the one thing people can't take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.
Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
A lot of people would say 'sexy' is about the body. But to me, 'sexy' is a woman with confidence. I admire women who have very little fear.
But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field — to enhance their physical appearance.
