Quotes
“There is no fulfillment in things whatsoever. And I think one of the reasons that depression reigns supreme amongst the rich and famous is some of them thought that maybe those things would bring them happiness. But what, in fact, does is having a cause, having a passion. And that’s really what gives life’s true meaning.”
"Famed Surgeon Ben Carson on Overcoming Adversity", National Public Radio May 6 “I started reading about people of great accomplishment ... and it dawned on me suddenly that the person who has the most to do with what happens in your life is you.”
As quoted in "World-Renowned Pediatric Neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson Attribut “She was not a person who would allow the system to dictate her life.”
Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, p. 18 “We don’t have to explain miracles; all we have to do is accept them.”
Think Big, p. 146 “Knowledge is the key that unlocks all the doors. You can be green-skinned with yellow polka dots and come from Mars, but if you have knowledge that people need, instead of beating you, they’ll beat a path to your door.”
Think Big, p. 216
