When I was growing up, I installed refrigerators in supermarkets. My father was an electrical engineer.

I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?

As a former economy minister, I can't not think about economic growth. The central bank should also think about this but through its own instruments.

The health insurance industry does not like to pay out claims, because they don't make money. The only way they can make a profit is if they don't pay for your operation. If they pay for your operation and your doctor's appointment and your pharmaceuticals, they don't make any money.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

When you borrow money, you should always think how you're going to pay it back.
