Chris Gardner _ Start Where You Are: Life
Now I know a lot of us would rather skip over whatever happened back in the day, because it's painful or obsolete {as some would say}, because there's nothing to do to change it, other than to let it go or get over it. But if we do that, we risk losing our knowledge of what really makes us happy: the pure essence of joy that we knew as children.

Chris Gardner _ Start Where You Are: Life
if anybody asks you who you are, tell them you are a child of God." That message translated in such a way that you would never call yourself a slave or tell anyone that you were a child of slaves or that you belonged to a slave owner.

Chris Gardner _ Start Where You Are: Life
Mr. Gardner, why people gotta keep you down when you have your dream?" Again, I was having a long overdue conversation with myself. "Well," I said, "people who can't do something themselves, they're jealous, so they wanna tell you that you can't do it. But you know what? You got a dream, it's yours and you gotta protect it.
