Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.

Stay away from people with tiny minds and tiny thoughts and start hanging out with people who see limitless possibility as the reality.

Black women sharing close ties with each other, politically or emotionally, are not the enemies of Black men.

Always surround yourself with people who are even more talented and competent than you.

Our chief want in life, is, someone who shall make us do what we can. This is the service of a friend. With him we are easily great.
