Sorry it had to end this way but uh, it is what it is …

If it’s flipping burgers at Mcdonald’s, be the best burger flipper in the world. Whatever it is you do, you have to master your craft.

We want people who hate to lose, like myself.

Twas the nizzle before chrismizzle and all through the hizzle.

When I’m no longer rapping I want to open up an ice-cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.

That’s how we do it… we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.

As a principle-centered person you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options. Looking at the balanced whole–the work needs, the family needs, the other needs that may be involved, and the possible implications of the various alternatives — you’ll try to come up with the best solution taking all factors into consideration. We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

The best way out is always through.

When you want to express yourself, a lot of times words can get in the way.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems.

A lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job.

Excellence is attained when you care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical; expect more than others think is possible.

Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.
