If you give a good thing to the world, then over time your karma will be good, and you'll receive good.

I know a lot of angry liberals right now. Hell, I know a lot of angry vegans.
Russell Simmons
As long as you are passionate about your vision, you should keep moving forward.
Russell Simmons
I don't miss a day of yoga. I don't miss my meditation... They're way more important.
Russell Simmons
Reacting to the world with a smile instead of a curse, a wave instead of the middle finger, will actually help you live longer.
Russell Simmons
Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you.
Russell Simmons
The imagination is how things get done. You have to cultivate creativity.
Russell Simmons
People build themselves up before you even have to deal with them.

I think it's very important. I've gone into prisons to meditate with inmates. It's something I plan to do with Tim Robbins soon.
