Inspirational quotes, R.I.P. Charles Bradley

A real good artist learns to be a better person through all the changes they’ve been through. They keep their loving and honesty growing and learn to look at the world and not be full of hatred. 

With all hurts they’ve been through, they find a loving way and a way to put their mind on something greater. That’s what makes a artist, a good singer, because you can hear the hurt in their voice and you can hear the love in their voice.

Inspirational quotes, Princess Diana

I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

Inspirational quotes, Nelson Mandela, Words To Remember

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, then they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

~ Nelson Mandela ~
