“You know what I always say to people who say, "Oh, I wish I were 20 years younger"? I say, "Enjoy your age now, because in 20 years you'll be wishing you were this age." You might as well enjoy it at the present time. What I think keeps you young is always having something to look forward to and doing something new.” PeopleThinkingAgeWishEnjoySomething New Author:Fredric Brandt
“Sometimes it's good to not be able to buy everything, because then it gives you something to look forward to. That's why you shouldn't give kids too much - then they have nothing to look forward to. It's a recipe for disaster. What if you have a daughter and you give her everything and then she marries someone who can't give her everything? A recipe for disaster.” GivingSometimesKidsDaughterDisasterWhat If Author:Fredric Brandt

“Life is about committing ourselves on a daily basis to the best in us. Freedom is a state of mind. Freedom is an attitude. Freedom is a spirit. You may be behind bars, but you still have the capacity to be free. I've visited some people behind bars who are freer than Negroes I see running around every day. Being in jail, or poor, or uneducated doesn't determine how free you can be. There are really only two types of people. Either you're running scared or you're running free. I choose to run free, and you can, too, no matter what your circumstances in life.” PeopleMindRunningSpiritPoorAttitudeCircumstancesDetermineScaredState Of MindUneducated Author:Tavis Smiley

There's a sensuality in the mystery that I think drives people to listen to my music.” PeopleThinkingTryingMysterySensualityEnigma Author:Cassie Ventura
