The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosopher's or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself, and that is why you must know yourself - Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.

Self-satisfaction is the state of mind of those who have the happy conviction that they are not as other men.

I was a person with dignity and self-respect, and I should not set my sights lower than anybody else just because I was black.

Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
