Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
There are no shortcuts to genuine friendship. Relationships are built over time.
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.
If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
I think it is a good thing to have woman friends at every stage of life. We confide in each other, we support each other, we understand each other most of the time. Of course, sometimes we are competitive or angry or distant, too. But I do think it is important not to let the main friendships slip away in the sweep of the days.
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.

It's important to have quiet time and isolation.
Throughout the day, my phone will variously chirp, burp and growl — it's like living with a velociraptor. The last time I went to try to shut it off, the thing bit me.
One of my favorite memories was one time Prince picked me up and said we were going to Michael Jordan's birthday party.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.
I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go.
Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self.
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
I've gone the full spectrum — from gospel to blues to jazz to soul to pop — and the public has accepted what I've done through it all. I think it means I've been doing something right at the right time.
I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!
