Stevie Wonder

This is like one thing that I've tried to do, and I think successfully, that when you realize that nothing really belongs to you, you begin to appreciate having an understanding of just where your head is at, and you feel so much better.

For the most part, I feel really comfortable with what I've given to the people. I want to give it to them again.

Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

You know, I always when people ask me, like, what is my most favorite song, I quote Duke Ellington, when they would ask him, what's his favorite composition? And I say, I haven't written it yet. Because, you know, there are different songs for different occasions.

The right to bear arms? What about the right to live?

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle

Time is long but life is short.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Sometimes, I feel I am really blessed to be blind because I probably would not last a minute if I were able to see things.

What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

You can't base your life on other people's expectations.

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!

God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.

I used to say that if something happened to my mother, I wanted to die with her. That's because I loved her so much. I want to live so I can carry out the essence of what she has shown me: kindness and goodness.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically - I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

Mama was my greatest teacher a teacher of compassion love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Very superstitious writings on the wall very superstitious ladders bout to fall Thirteen month old baby broke the lookin glass seven years of bad luck the good things in your past.

You cant base your life on other peoples expectations.

Let us come together before we're annihilated.

Ya gots to work with what you gots to work with.

Minds ripen at very different ages.

Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love, and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Do you know, it's funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage.

I can't say that I'm always writing in my head but I do spend a lot of time in my head writing or coming up with ideas. And what I do usually is write the music and melody and then, you know, maybe the basic idea. But when I feel that I don't have a song or just say, God, please give me another song. And I just am quiet and it happens.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesnt mean he lacks vision.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

Exploitation mutilation mutations confirmation to the evils of the world.

My father really was not the dominant person who raised the family, it was my mother who raised the family.

Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.

I'm concerned about how accessible guns are.

I am not a normal man.

Eyes lie if you ever look into them for the character of the person.
