“Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go they merely determine where you start.”

“...never let fear define who you are, and never let where you came from determine where you are going.”

“At the end of the day, the circumstances of your life-- what you look like,where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse... where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No ones written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write you own destiny.You make your own future.”

“Circumstances don't determine who you are, or what you will be. Only you do that. You either decide, or you don't. Even the decision not to decide was still yours.”

“Enforce the change we all believe in! Yes, you can so that we all can move forward and determine where we are going.”

“Where you stand determines what you see and what you do not see; it determines also the angle you see it from; a change in where you stand changes everything.”
