Zora Neale Hurston
Those that don't got it, can't show it. Those that got it, can't hide it.
Zora Neale Hurston
If you haven't got it, you can't show it. If you have got it, you can't hide it.
Zora Neale Hurston
If you want that good feeling that comes from doing things for other folks then you have to pay for it in abuse and misunderstanding.
Zora Neale Hurston
I don't know any more about the future than you do. I hope that it will be full of work, because I have come to know by experience that work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find. . . I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death.
Zora Neale Hurston
