“Sometimes you can’t worry about hurt. Sometimes you can worry only about getting where you have to go”.

“You got to be afraid of somebody who just doesn’t care”.

“Life is short. If you’re not truing to really change things out here, you might as well forget it”.

“If you can’t be strong be clever and make peace with someone who’s strong. But always better to be strong yourself. Always”.

“The first thing to remember is how to protect yourself”.

“Confidence. The secret to a man’s success”.

“The law is also memory; the law also records a long running conversation, a nation arguing with its conscience”.

“All we can do is aspire to live like God, though we will always fall short”.

“It’s a terrible thing when the government steals from its own people”.

“Your woman will get bored with you always spending time with books”.

“Once a thug, always a thug”.

“The trick is not caring that it hurts”.
