“Sometimes it's important to dare to dream - small or big - like Mandela, Gandhi, Winfrey, Obama, Malala and Dr King. From Einstein to Hawking - the skies no limit. From Ali to the Williams sisters - through trials and talent find the champions within. Like my mother did to raise great kids. Like the one or many who run with this. Like the unsung heroes in every city and village. Like the kind of heart and selfless healers. Like every act of kindness you ever did and received. Like the human spirit beyond class, colour and creed. Like every soul who has raised our consciousness. From one to all - love IS all we have and need.” LoveInspirationInspirational QuotesConsciousnessCompassionVisionClassKindnessDreamsMindfulnessOnenessChampionColourQuotes About LifeDreamingVisionariesGandhiRasheed Ogunlaru QuotesRasheed OgunlaruObamaGreat SoulsEinsteinAliCreedStephen HawkingMandelaMalalaHealersOprahMohammed AliOprah WinfreyEinstein QuotesQuotes About InspirationWilliams SistersQuotes About Inner StrengthThe Power Of Positive Thinking Author:Rasheed Ogunlaru

“That was actually Lloyd Phillips who was a Kiwi film producer in L.A. And it was about Gorgeous George, not Haystacks Calhoun. I was in a couple of Lloyd's films and got approached to write the story.
