To overthrow oppression has been sanctioned by humanity and is the highest aspiration.

If I ever go to West Africa, it would probably be for a free concert. I would want to do something for the people there. Maybe we can make a whole event, the way Bob Marley would have done it. Just for the people. And if they climb over the gate, let them climb over the gate.

Do not lower your goals to the level of your abilities. Instead, raise your abilities to the height of your goals.

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them...But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.

We should always be aspiring to know more, and to better ourselves, and to improve ourselves. To improve ourselves, because that's how we improve the world around us, by working within us.
