"Where it is in our power to act, it is also in our power to not act."

Aristotle

“Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation - it is the one unbreakable diamond.”
“To start with, anybody who would like the world to be a better place should be able to think like an economist.”

“Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.”
“Then shift to intention. Not what I find missing in my life, but to what I absolutely intend to manifest and attract into my life...”
“I'm always willing to work that little bit harder to achieve what I need to achieve because I feel like it's a blessing for me to be here. I was never supposed to be here. I'm the black council estate kid, single parent, from West London, with friends that are in jail, friends that have committed heinous crimes, friends that are doing nothing. I'm not supposed to be here, therefore I have nothing to lose. I'm always going to work harder than everyone else because if it doesn't work, "So what?".”

“Sometimes when you write something, you have that day when you start writing and you feel really good, and you start changing it. At the end, it lost the essence. It lost the first idea, the energy that it had, it's going down after every change. And at the end it's something soft and too much rewritten or too much rebuilt that doesn't have the same energy as the beginning. So, I like the first takes because of that, you know. It has that first energy that sometimes it's difficult to recreate.”
“One half of me is a hopeless romantic. The other half is well... just realistic.”
“I've got three brothers; I think all of them are good human beings.”
