Top 20 Wisest Morgan Freeman Quotes To Inspire You to Aim Higher

For Academy Award-winner Morgan Freeman, it was a long road towards becoming one of America's most accomplished and respected actors. The star of such critically acclaimed films as The Shawshank Redemption and Million Dollar Baby was raised in a poor black family in the Jim Crow-era South, the youngest of five children born to a barber and a schoolteacher. So from there, it was far from an obvious path towards delivering an Oscar-nominated performance as Nelson Mandela in the 2009 film Invictus. But then, Freeman knows a thing or two about defying the odds.

An actor, director, producer and voice-over narrator, Morgan Freeman has starred in dozens of films and garnered numerous honors and awards, including lifetime achievement awards from both the Golden Globes' Hollywood Foreign Press and the Screen Actors' Guild. In 2016, Freeman's decades-long contribution to American culture was recognized with a National Medal of Arts, bestowed by President Barack Obama.
