“Stairs elevate you; ethics elevates you; goodness elevates you; awareness elevates you; wisdom elevates you.”
“She was tempted to take the elevator instead of the stairs just this once. But that was how it started. Take the elevator tonight because she was tired and her feet hurt from having been trapped in three-inch stilettos all day, and then tomorrow she'd want to take it because she was running late. Then, the next thing she knew she'd be taking elevators all over the place because she got winded climbing stairs.”
“Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.”
“Take care not to listen to anyone who tells you what you can and can't be in life.”
