Quotes by Russell Simmons

"...piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won't in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you'll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning "to flow with abundance". So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world."

"Remember, your purpose is to act on the resources God gives you. If God gives you a bucket of fish, you have to distribute those fish. If you don't, they're going to rot, attract a bunch of flies and start stinking up your soul."

"My brother, Reverand Run, who's what I like to call a "Christian yogi", has his own term for it. He calls it a "State of Grace", that space where you can walk around and practice love in everything you do. To walk around all day with a smile and, instead of seeing the world as bad, simply seeing opportunities to make the world better."

"Remember, Jesus or Lord Buddha didn't share their visions to teach you who they were. They shared their vision to help teach you who you are. To help you understand the power that God has already blessed you with. "

"....I don't believe that people create their own visions. Rather, I believe that visions are actually God's way of communicating with us."
