The strongest thing that any human being has going is their own integrity and their own heart. As soon as you start veering away from that, the solidity that you need in order to be able to stand up for what you believe in and deliver what’s really inside, it’s just not going to be there. Herbie Hancock Read Quote
Forget about trying to compete with someone else. Create your own pathway. Create your own new vision. Herbie Hancock Read Quote

We need to move into a culture of peace. What I hope to promote is the idea that we all need each other and that the greatest happiness in life is not how much we have but how much we give. That’s a wealth that’s priceless. You can’t buy compassion. Herbie Hancock Read Quote
