I like working. That’s when I’m feeling my best. And the people around me know that. My wife knows that.

In Buddhist culture, offering food to the monk symbolizes the action of goodness, and if you have no opportunity to support the practice of spirituality, then you are somehow left in the realm of darkness.

You can’t have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

A lie cannot live.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

I go to cancer wards, and I tell them guys, ‚I’ve beaten it. You can, too.‘

Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth.

Being a Puerto Rican artist, I support all kinds of projects that are developed on my beautiful island that in some way or another put our Puerto Rican flag up.

For me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you’d would wake up times and hope that the next day you’d be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

The answer to the problem of inequality is for the people who are fortunate enough to either have been gifted or deserved more to do everything they can to make the communities around them as strong as they possibly can.

Never elated when someone’s oppressed, never dejected when another one’s blessed.

I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.

There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one’s self on lies and fables.

I hate to see anybody sink. I hate to see anybody lose their dream, lose their home, something like that.

My songs are like my children – I expect them to support me when I’m old.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

Over the years I’ve seen people lose a spouse and then withdraw and lose interest in life, and I believe we need to resist that.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don’t accept it, it’s their loss.

Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

An honest man is always a child.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

If you want to reach the top, don’t run over others. Likely, the only way you’ll reach the top is to be carried there by others.

My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

I am for people. I can’t help it.

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

They need help, and we have helped, and we are here to help. And we are helping, and we’re going to continue to help.

This above all; to thine own self be true.

I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.

There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

However my parents – both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension.

Family and friendships are two of the greatest facilitators of happiness.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it’s so easy to be motivated.

Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.
