The glories of our blood and state, Are shadows, not substantial THINGS; There is no armour against fate, Death LAYS his icy hand on KINGS. Scepter and crown must tumble down, And, in the DUST, be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do THINGS more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder, LEAVING us with fifty-button remote controls, digital cameras with HUNDREDS of mysterious features and book-length manuals, and cars with dashboard systems worthy of the space shuttle.

I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That MEANS you're ALIVE.

I have LEARNED so many things from my mother about the RIGHT UPBRINGING, the right VALUES, value for money, value for elders, for family members. I THINK these things only a parent can teach you.

Winning is KINDA the CURE to all things; to getting FOLLOWERS, FANS, success. You've just gotta win.

'The time has come,' the walrus SAID, 'to talk of many things: of SHOES and SHIPS - and sealing wax - of cabbages and KINGS.'

A lot of things are going to happen that you can't necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it HAPPENS. So that's what I try to do, KEEP my HEAD up, keep MOVING FORWARD, stay positive and just work hard.

There's so MANY THINGS that life is, and no matter how many breakthroughs, trials will EXIST and we're going to GET through it. Just be strong.

I don't BELIEVE that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely ACCIDENTAL and random. Sometimes BAD things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you TRY to do good things, then you're SPENDING your time doing something worthwhile.
