You can't break poor people mentality. Once you grow up poor, you don't take anything for granted. It can have the negative side also because you can never truly be relaxed.

Will Smith
Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to, are the people who trust you.
Will Smith
I truly believe that I can be president of the US if I really want to.
Will Smith
The way I like to measure greatness is... How many people can you make want to be better?
Will Smith
The greatest experience I've ever had in a movie theater was watching Star Wars. It shaped how I look at the world. My imagination was so small before I went in that theater and there was an explosion in my head. I just couldn't figure out how someone came up with it.
Will Smith
Marriage is the hardest thing you will ever do. The secret is removing divorce as an option. Anybody who gives themselves that option will get a divorce.
Will Smith
Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving.
Will Smith
Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity Kitai. Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.
Will Smith
I have fun. I enjoy my life. And I was hardwired for a deep connection between service, God, and happiness. You kind of need all of those things to be in play for one to have the others.
Will Smith
There's a forgiveness that literary audiences will give you that film audiences don't give you. It's the two hour construct. You're in there and it needs to climax and finish.
Will Smith
Don't let failure go to your heart, and don't let success go to your head.
Will Smith
It's been rough for me trying to find my position in the struggle and where my voice is needed and helpful. You know, I grew up in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia has a really rough police-brutality history. I grew up in a neighborhood where it was very clear that the police were them and we were us.
Will Smith
It's great to be black in Hollywood. When a black actor does something, it seems new and different just by virtue of the fact that he's black.
Will Smith
You play a part in every aspect of your life going the way you want or not going the way that you want. It has very little to do with other people.
Will Smith
I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.
Will Smith
I’m a student of patterns. At heart, I’m a physicist. I look at everything in my life as trying to find the single equation, the theory of everything.
Will Smith
I love creating music and television and film. I love the hustle, I love the grind, I love working sixteen- and eighteen-hour days and waking up at four the next morning and going to the gym. I love that.
Will Smith
There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. Just decide what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. And from that point, the universe will get out of your way.
Will Smith
Haters are the people who will broadcast your failures and whisper your success.
Will Smith
You have to make every group you come in contact with better.
