I don't keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses..
If there is one thing I will not abide it is the folly of a willful pride..
Start small and with your own money..
They will love me for that which destroys me..
The image is an image..
God hides things by putting them near us..
I often look for beauty in form and structure, and for ideas..
Since I went no grasse hath growne on my hele..
There is only one thing infamous in love, and that is a falsehood..
Things [only] exist once they are represented..
You can hold onto anything to make you carry on..
Take what you got and fly with it..
I've never been competitive with anybody but myself..
When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that..
I am not an African. I am an American..
Politics is a highly tribal business..
No one survives life..
Charge for something and make more than you spend..
If you push too much for somebody that everyone knows is your friend, and that you've worked with before, it can backfire..
Strength is for service, not status.
Look around—there's only one thing of danger for you here—poetry..
