More quotes by Will Smith
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
Will Smith
I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent.
Will Smith
I so connected to symbolically being able to turn lead into gold. My grandmother used to say, Life give you a lemon, you go ahead and make lemonade. To me, that's alchemy.

I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
Will Smith
I do not have to build a perfect wall today. I just have to lay a perfect brick.
Will Smith
You might be [outshining me in many ways]. But if we get on a treadmill, there are two things: you're getting off first or I'm going to die. It's that simple, right?
Will Smith
Here I stand before you - brown. Color of the mountains Colossal as the earth Wrapped so deliciously within my own joy and misery Feathers of my wings paralyzed by the distance of my mind Here I stand before you, the color of the night Frozen by the potential of me.
Will Smith
I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.
Will Smith
You don’t try to build a wall, you don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say ‘I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.’ You don’t start there… You say ‘I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.’ And you do that every single day and soon you have a wall.
Will Smith
I'm starting to be a lot more comfortable with allowing people to decide for themselves and almost creating a situation that forces people to decide for themselves whether they like it or don't like it or agree with the character or disagree with the character.
Will Smith
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
