사랑은 그 자체로 이미 보답이니라.
독서만큼 값이 싸면서도 오랜동안 즐거움을 누릴수 있는 것은 없다.
사람들은 행복과 불행은 모두 운명에 달렸다고 생각한다. 그러나 실제로는 운명은 우리에게 그 기회와 재료와 씨를 제공할 따름이다.
탐욕은 일체를 얻고자 욕심내어서 도리어 모든 것을 잃어버린다.
기도는 하늘의 축복을 받고 노동은 땅에서 축복을 파낸다. 기도는 하늘에 차고, 노동은 땅에 차니,이 둘이 당신의 집에 행복을 실어다 준다.
소유물의 부족은 개선할 수 있으나 영혼의 가난은 해결하기 쉬운 것이 아니다.
고통을 주지 않는 것은 쾌락도 주지 않는다.
가장 탁월한 천분도 무위도식에 의해서 멸망된다.
지혜의 가장 명백한 징조는 쉴새없이 명랑한 것이다.
우리들이 가장 조금 밖에 알고 있지 않은 것, 이것만큼 굳게 믿어지는 것은 없다.
인간은 생각하는 것이 적으면 적을수록 더욱 말이 많다.

현실은 틀렸다. 꿈만이 진짜다.
죽음에 대한 나의 유일한 두려움은 환생되어 돌아오는것이다.
전쟁들은 일어나고 끝나길 반복한다, 하지만 나의 용사들은 영원하다.
자유의 여신상은 안경이 필요하다.
자는 사람에게 오는 것은 꿈밖에는 없어.
우리 모두 죽을거야, 동일한 혈관에서 피를 뿜으며.
오직 하느님만이 나를 심판할수 있다.
신께서 죄인들을 심판하시길
물론 나는 내가 갱스터(불량배)라고 말할거야 왜냐하면 나는 빈민가에서 왔고 아직도 여기에 있기 때문이지!
모든 어두운 밤이 있기에, 밝은 날도 있겠지
당신이 사는동안, 절대 꿈꾸는것을 멈추지말아라. 아무도 당신의 꿈을 가져가버릴수는 없을테니.
누가 나좀깨워줘 나는 꿈을 꾸고 있어.
난 아마 열심히 사는것 때문에 벌받을 것이다.
나의 예언을 상상해볼수 있겠니?
겁쟁이처럼 사느니 차라리 남자답게 죽겠다.
겁쟁이는 몇천번의 죽음을 맞는다… 용사는 단한번 죽을 뿐이다.

Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed and hocus pocus, try to focus but I can’t see
It’s like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinda scratches and marks, you ain’t gonna say “damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete..” you gonna be like “DAMN! a ROSE grew from the CONCRETE?”
I don’t mean to sound sleezy but tease me I don’t want it if it’s that easy
we wouldn’t ask why a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals, in turn, we would all celebrate its tenacity, we would all love its will to reach the sun, well, we are the roses, this is the concrete and these are my damaged petals, dont ask me why, thank god, and ask me how

My mama always used to tell me: ‘If you can’t find somethin’ to live for, you best find somethin’ to die for
since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we’ll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can’t make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one
I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I’m doing is right. So I feel like I’m going to heaven
