"People that say "I can't should try saying "I choose not to."

"Create your best life with your consciously chosen thoughts, words, and actions."

"Aren't you tired of shutting up? Aren't you sick of choking down your truth?Aren't you over nodding yes when you mean no?Then stop-shutting and choking and nodding.You have not come this far to stay silent.You have not endured so much to give up now.You have not awakened just to go back to sleep.Right now is the time to announce yourself. Who are you? What do we need to know?Only you make claim to who you are.Only you decide what's right, and not, for you.Only you choose how you want to shine.You-only you-get to create your singular life."

"You have the power to choose joyful living through your thoughts, actions, and choices."

He is keeping his foot in the door for a better opportunity should it not work out with you. Real women don't need to investigate. They invest in their self confidence and worth by not allowing their man to disrespect them. They are not afraid to ask themselves the tough questions: Why am I letting this man humiliate me and value me less than others? Why have I allowed myself to become a doormat?"

"Those who doubt themselves will doubt you. Those who limit themselves will try to limit you. Do not fight them. Smile, go your own way, and trust that your example is enough."

"Richard exhaled. It was like somebody sprinkling pepper on his wound: Thousands of Biafrans were dead, and this man wanted to know if there was anything new about one dead white man. Richard would write about this, the rule of Western journalism: One hundred dead black people equal to one dead white person."

"A man who would be intimidated by me is exactly the kind of man I would have no interest in."

"I was telling them about back home and how all the boys were chasing me because I was half-caste, and they said I was dissing myself. So now I say biracial, and I'm supposed to be offended when somebody says half-caste. I've met a lot of people here with white mothers and they are so full of issues, eh. I didn't know I was even supposed to have issues until I came to America . Honestly, if anybody wants to raise bi-racial kids, do it in Nigeria."

"People often told him how humble he was, but they did not mean real humility, it was merely that he did not flaunt his membership in the wealthy club, did not exercise the rights it brought-to be rude, to be inconsiderate, to be greeted rather than to greet-and because so many others like him exercised those rights, his choices were interpreted as humility."
