As another has well said to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching.

If there is no struggle there is no progress.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.

There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars mansions cars nice clothes beautiful women and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.

You know I think the film business is its own worst enemy because it sells movies on DVD footage and 'behind the scenes ' and now it's a real struggle trying to keep storylines and plotlines a secret.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

When you are at the bottom you find beauty in such little things and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood there is nothing that can bring me down.

I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life struggle intensity.
