Puff Daddy Quotes:
God is on your side. We already at the finish line. Anything you put your mind to, anything you want to accomplish ,you put your faith in God's hands you can do it.
Haters wanna stop my lute,they don't want me wearing Sean John, they want me wearing lawn suits.
I stack heavy doe, sell out every show. It'll never die, we live and we gonna stay big time 'til it's time to see Big.
I am 100% innocent and the charges against me are 100% false.
Don't get yourself in certain circumstances or instances, because it's not a good feeling to be sitting in that chair where you've got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by the decisions that you make.
I got a chance to have my dream come true, and I wanted to make sure I made the decision as to when I dropped my last album. If I don't feel like this album is an incredible piece of work, then I'm cool with the albums I've done. I don't have to put out another album.
I just didn't think it was gonna be that big of a deal on an alleged gun possession.
