The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
'Strictly Business' is about a young black man who is learning about himself, and that applies to a lot of young black men, those who are trying to find jobs. This film gives them a good look at that situation.
