In an unexpected turn of events, Will Smith has become somewhat of a sage in his latter years. The rapper turned actor is a multi award winner and has proven himself to be a master of his craft. Here’s a list of 20 of his best quotes that are sure to raise your spirits.
1. “Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”

5. “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”

13. “The first step is you have to say that you can.”
14. “Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings, and emotions.”
15. “I want to represent the idea that you really can make what you want. I believe I can create whatever I want to create.”
16. “Money and success don’t change people. They merely amplify what is already there.”
17. “Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”
18. “Life isn’t how many breaths you take, but it’s the moments that take your breath away.”
19. “There’s no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A.”
