The best augury of a man’s success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.

It is better to be alone than in bad company.

A hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.

I’m not arrogant enough to look back on my career and criticize my choices. It’s really not my place.

Sometimes I feel like being an intellectual. Sometimes I like to just be aggressive and all the way in my feelings. Sometimes I might be emotional, or sometimes I might drag on the track and be lazy. I just like to share the different states of existence of Kevin Gates with the rest of the world.

Getting money is not all a man’s business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

Most people don’t like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.

So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

Your attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.

We are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.

Usually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment.

Education is what you learn after you leave school.

To me, constructive criticism is when people take ownership of their ideas. That’s why I don’t listen to anything that’s anonymous. But it’s hard; when there’s something hurtful out there, I still want to read it over and over and memorize it and explain my point of view to the person.

I think as long as I do a good job and put in all my effort to proving that I’m worth it, then everything should be fine.

You can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Boys do cry, but I don’t think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years.

Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.

Life is a lively process of becoming.

Lots of songs aren’t even from my experiences, but they’re about accepting… the dark things about yourself.

A game is like a mirror that allows you to look at yourself.

Most of one’s life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe.

Since the beginning, it was just the same. The only difference, the crowds are bigger now.

I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn’t as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

I feel like I’m changing pop culture.

Now we’re in the midst of not just advocating for change, not just calling for change – we’re doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change – inch by inch, day by day.

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.

I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.

Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.

Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

The superior man makes the difficulty to be overcome his first interest; success only comes later.

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I have a strong feeling that I shall be glad when I am dead and done for – scrapped at last to make room for somebody better, cleverer, more perfect than myself.

I’m not generally a sensitive person, but I tend to be more sensitive toward others and what they’re going through. I don’t know if that’s the healthiest thing, but it’s the truth.

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

I just want people to be the best thems and live the happiest lives possible.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.

I write for no other purpose than to add to the beauty that now belongs to me. I write a book for no other reason than to add three or four hundred acres to my magnificent estate.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection.

I think I have always had a little humor.

God always wants us to be growing.

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

In 7th grade, I believe, I wrote my first rap song. It was about everything I was seeing, everything that was going on around me.

I think I hate cynicism more than anything else. It’s the curse of our age, and I want to avoid it at all costs.

If you’re not very clever you should be conciliatory.
