True leadership is about empowering others to achieve their full potential.

The power of the human spirit is limitless.

I’ve always been an outsider, and I think that’s why people connect with my music.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.

The only real beauty is the beauty of the soul.
