“Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.”
“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”
“Just because it’s in print doesn’t mean it’s the gospel.” (CBS interview 2003)
“If You’re thinkin’ of / Being my brother / It don’t matter if you’re / Black or white” (from Black or White)
“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”
“In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love, and work hard. Work like there’s no tomorrow. Train. Strive. Really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it’s books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it’s yours. That’s what I’ve always tried to remember.”
“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.”
“The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work."
“I’m starting with the man in the mirror / I’m asking him to change his ways / And no message could have been any clearer / If you wanna make the world a better place (If you wanna make the world a better place) / Take a look at yourself, and then make a change” (from Man in the Mirror)
“You ain’t seen nothing yet, and the best is yet to come.”
