A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy.
I don't fight for the money. I fight for my legacy. I fight for history. I fight for my people.
Election days come and go. But the struggle of the people to create a government which represents all of us and not just the one percent — a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice — that struggle continues.
Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference.
People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people.
No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
The objective I propose is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy — the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities — which allows a people to choose their own way to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.
The safety of the people shall be the highest law.
As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people.
A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.
People make basic assumptions based on what they have now. But you have to ask yourself, 'Is this really what people are going to be doing in five years?' Very few people ask themselves what they would actually want instead if they could wave a magic wand.
