Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
'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.
