My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother, Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year, on Christmas.

I can see in your eyes, I can see in your faces, I can see you cry. But what I want to say, there's no reason to cry. Do not, in the name of peace, go in the streets and riot.

They say I do not have the qualifications to be president, that I do not have education. Well, I would never divide the Liberian people.

Education is a continual process, it's like a bicycle... If you don't pedal you don't go forward.

My government will be open. Anyone found guilty of corruption will be dealt with in accordance with the law. If you are corrupt you will have to hang your boots.

Once you take care of people, people respect you.

My fellow revolutionaries, liberation is a noble cause. We must fight to obtain it.

I will go on my knees and ask the Liberian people to participate in bringing peace and stability to our country.

[Christ] has accomplished your salvation. But He has not yet perfected your circumstances. Do not be confused in the two.

The love of God knows no end.Lord may your boundless and unfailing love surround us.

The artist draws the people. The whole idea is for people to dig themselves, just mingle around meeting different other people. That's cool.

Let's be honest - look what Hollywood at 18 is.

Culture stereotypes women to fit the myth by flattening the feminine into beauty-without-intelligence or intelligence-without-beauty; women are allowed a mind or a body but not both.

If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career.

Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread.
