Me and Thugger could make nine songs in a day and then choose which songs we like the most and think is gonna do something. With other people, it's like, we pick one song, and we hope it's the one.

Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable a most sacred right a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country's cause.

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free honorable alike in that we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.

He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
