"I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people."
"I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people."
"I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, 'I love you.' ... There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt."
"That's what you want to do? Then nothing beats a trial but a failure. Give it everything you've got. I've told you many times, 'Cant do is like Dont Care.' Neither of them have a home."
"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."
"All great achievements require time."
"If I'm the people's poet, then I ought to be in people's hands - and, I hope, in their heart."
