“Parenting is one part instilling in your children what you believe to be the best of you and one part recognizing what is the best in your child and watering those parts of them.”
Roy Wood Jr., The Man of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir

“Motherfucker, don’t you ever worry about what another man is doing. Worry about what the fuck you can do and do that, because what you can do is all you can do. It don’t fucking matter what another man is doing.”
Roy Wood Jr., The Man of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir

“Son, people who have already shown that they don’t give a fuck about you will never give a fuck about you, and your success in spite of their wrong assumptions about you is probably not going to change their opinion of you. Your growth is for you and you alone. So what if other people don’t notice it.”
Roy Wood Jr., The Man of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir
