Lauryn Hill

The only wealth I have to give is not material and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.

I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth, who won’t accept deception instead of what is truth.

If everyone is a product of this society, who will say the things that need to be said, and do the things that need to be done, without compromise?

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

That strong mother doesn’t tell her cub ‘Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you’. She says, ‘Toughen up, this is reality we are living in’.

How you gonna win if you ain’t right within?

There has never been a merging of two lives where significant problems of daily living did not occur. One way or another, your relationship is going to be affected. The only question is how. There’s a big difference between knowing and doing. It’s not what happens between partners that determines the outcome of a relationship, it’s how they handle what happens. If all you deal with in your relationship is problems, then you will have a problem relationship. If you want your pound of flesh with full acknowledgement that you’re right, your future will be dim.

“They stood there pretending to be just friends when all the while everyone in the room could plainly see that they were only existing for each other.

The best present a man can give a woman is his undivided attention.

You know the funny thing, I don’t get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories.

What truly made me fall in love with Barack Obama was his character.

If I don’t have friends, then I ain’t got nothing.

To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.

Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog and will do it again – just watch. He can do much better!

Lasting love and forgiveness are two sides of the same page.

I’ve always said, ‘If you need Viagra, you’re probably with the wrong girl.

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

I don’t know where to find a good guy. I just think that they’re around and I think you have to be good and at some point you’ll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.
