Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
'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.
