My mother told me, 'Son, nobody else but God knows.' And that's what I'm about - reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That's what I do.
Mr. T
The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise.
Thomas Sydenham
