Wyclef Quotes

It's the same with [my wife] -- when she goes out, guys are macking on her. I'm not worried with the kind of relationship we've got. Most people, they don't leave room for mistakes in their relationship.

When Musk took delivery of his F1, CNN was there to cover it. “Just three years ago I was showering at the Y and sleeping on the office floor,” he told the camera sheepishly, “and now obviously, I’ve got a million-dollar car… it’s just a moment in my life.” While other McLaren F1 owners around the world—the sultan of Brunei, Wyclef Jean, and Jay Leno, among others—could comfortably afford it, Musk’s purchase had put a sizable dent in his bank account. And unlike other owners, Musk drove the car to work—and declined to insure it. As Musk drove Thiel up Sand Hill Road in the F1, the car was the subject of their chat. “It was like this Hitchcock movie,” Thiel remembered, “where we’re talking about the car for fifteen minutes. We’re supposed to be preparing for the meeting—and we’re talking about the car.” During their ride, Thiel looked at Musk and reportedly asked, “So, what can this thing do?” “Watch this,” Musk replied, flooring the accelerator and simultaneously initiating a lane change on Sand Hill Road. In retrospect, Musk admitted that he was outmatched by the F1. “I didn’t really know how to drive the car,” he recalled. “There’s no stability systems. No traction control. And the car gets so much power that you can break the wheels free at even fifty miles an hour.” Thiel recalls the car in front of them coming fast into view—then Musk swerving to avoid it. The McLaren hit an embankment, was tossed into the air—“like a discus,” Musk remembered——then slammed violently into the ground. “The people that saw it happen thought we were going to die,” he recalled. Thiel had not worn a seat belt, but astonishingly, neither he nor Musk were hurt. Musk’s “work of art” had not fared as well, having now taken a distinctly cubist turn. Post-near-death experience, Thiel dusted himself off on the side of the road and hitchhiked to the Sequoia offices, where he was joined by Musk a short while later. X.com’s CEO, Bill Harris, was also waiting at the Sequoia office, and he recalled that both Thiel and Musk were late but offered no explanation for their delay. “They never told me,” Harris said. “We just had the meeting.” Reflecting on it, Musk found humor in the experience: “I think it’s safe to say Peter wouldn’t be driving with me again.” Thiel wrung some levity out of the moment, too. “I’d achieved lift-off with Elon,” he joked, “but not in a rocket.

Wyclef Jean performed the reggae song “Many Rivers to Cross,” which

The prying eyes will always have an opinion

It is easier for me to hate him when I remember that he was cold in the end

I had the strange ability to not let words put me down

He is a good man but I'm not sure good men make good politicians

You're from the news, should I be careful what I say to you?

It's amazing what talking to a person does

What is important isn't what I wrote, but what the people will find out later

You'll be surprised how powerful the truth can be

When it's all over, the chips will fall where they should

I'm the kind that reads books more than once

Don't let it linger in your mind longer than it should

Find something else, there will always be something new

The decision should be made because you are ready to move on

The problem with being manipulative is that it affects your thinking, it makes you think that everyone is like you

I'm an intentional person; when I see what I want, I go for it

He had lived the same way for so long and didn't know his way back

I'm set on a path of redemption and I'm supposed to start somewhere

It all depends on how you want to participate in this life

We sacrifice and play by the rules

I've never played by the rules, and it's why I have achieved what I have as others toil for scraps

We are the few who are brave enough to ask the hard questions

I like the trouble that I bring upon myself, not the trouble that others bring upon me

If I don't try, then who will? I have to try

The sight here is as beautiful, look ahead and see for yourself

The betrayal at the time was necessary to prevent worse things from happening

Forgetting is a virtue

You know you can still change your mind and go live a happy life
