Quote of the Day (Lionel Richie, on Facing Fear)

“Every time you feel fear, step forward. That’s what I keep in my mind now. Is today confusing? Yeah. Tomorrow may not be. Why? Because I faced today.” —American Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lionel Richie, quoted by Elizabeth Egan, “Lionel Richie Opens Up in a Memoir,” The New York Times, Sept. 30, 2025
