Simply Will Smith

I  have found, when it comes to really great Quotes, you can count on the Fresh Prince to give ya some real good stuff!  
I thought I'd share some of my favorite Will Smith Quotes.


"Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there."

I heard Oprah say this once.  She said if you are a jerk and you win the lottery, you become a jerk with money and spend your money on selfish things. But, if you are a good, decent person and you come into money, you give to others and you don't change who you are as a person.  


"I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived."

Imagine if everyone felt this way...

"In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet."

Every time I hear this quote I think about the Young Women Value of Divine Nature.  I wish every girl and woman thought, and really believed that she was the daughter of a King and worthy of all that comes with that title.

"Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too."

It has only been over that past few years that I really grasped forgiveness and understood for the first time, the kind of damage that hatred can do to a person's soul. It's like poison to the spirit.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.

It's called Pride...and one of the toughest things to get rid of.  


“‎Look at your 5 closest friends. Those five friends are who you are. If you don't like who you are, then you know what you have to do...”


I've said it before, and I'll say it again... We become just like those we hang out with so choose your friends wisely.

and so, in honor of Will, 

and because I want to end on a happy note,  I give you "Parents just don't Understand" by Will Smith.
