At the edge of who you are, you may find the fragments of your original beginnings.
Sometimes travelling to your very edge is travelling down to your very core.
When you take time to be kind to others-you're being kind to yourself also

Believe in yourself and move forth with conviction to have better control over your senses and yourself.
Forget your voice, sing! Forget your feet, dance! Forget your life, live! Forget yourself and be!
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
No need to kill yourself, life will do it later anyway. Wake Up and Go Get Help.

I think any black woman is a queen. It's just, do you know it? Do you see it in yourself? Do you recognize it, do you abide by that, do you define yourself as that?

Don't try to be somebody you're not because it doesn't work.

For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.
Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.
Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!
Make a choice: continue living your life feeling muddled in this abyss of self-misunderstanding, or you find your identity independent of it. You push for colour-blind casting; you draw your own box. You introduce yourself as who you are, not what colour your parents happen to be.
