Nelson Mandela


to me this quote is very inspirational. nelson mandela is basically telling who ever he is speaking to that in order for them to get any where they are going to have to fight to get there things in this world are not for frre you have to give to get you have to fight for what you want in this world. when you put up a fight and actually show that you want what you want thena nd only then will you reach your goal. now this is a grat quote and some may understand and other may now however at times it does not apply to everyone because somepeople are born witha silver spoon in their mouths and those are the ones that will never under stand this they are very myopic when it come to the real world they think that the world is handed to them.

I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it's said and done
I bet this brother be a better one
If I upset you dont stress
Never forget, that God isn't finished with me yet.
Tupac Shakur

to me this quote pretty much means be your own person and do what you have to do to get by in life its also tellin people dont stress over you because what eber is wrong with you it will be fixed bec ause god is changing you. mistakes that i have made i have learned from all of them just like tupac. they have made me the person that i am today

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Alice Walker

to me this qoute means pretty uch what it say if you have someone that is or says that they are your friend and they dont want to see you expand yourself as a person they they are not a true friend... a friend always is happy for u and wants to see you grow if they tell u not to speak or they are always trying to quite you then they are not a real friend

The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, ... a heart of grace and a soul generated by love.
Coretta Scott King

to me this quote means that the more you put into your community the more that comes out of it. if you do not participate in your communtiy or help make it better then you haveno room to complaine. the more you give to your community the more you give to your community the more it will grow.

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Muhammad Ali

to me this quote means that as long as you have the knowledge you need you are able to spread your wingfs and do whatever you want to do. if you know what is right then youre able to do what is right. if you know what you know then you dont have to know what others know so therefore you dont have to do what they say anymore.

One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.
Booker T. Washington

To me this quote means a lot. i know that to other people it may mean something differednt however to me it means simply that when you try to hold someone down you cant simply because they will be held down as well. they are stoping their life to stop yours when they could be moving on and doing something else productive.
