I do not believe that any political campaign justifies the declaration of a moratorium on ordinary common sense.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

For every obstacle there is a solution. Persistence is the key. The greatest mistake is giving up!

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

I adopted a healthier diet. I take at least a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar a day. It's an old wives' tale, but it really is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.

There is an art in silence, and there is an eloquence in it too.

I don't think you can having an opportunity to ride either on the front or the back or in the middle of someone else's bus doesn't dignify you.

the past is not only that which happened but also that which could have happened but did not.
