Telling my story is to empower people to believe in their own power. We have so much power individually.

Your brain is your greatest weapon. Connect it to your heart, and you can go anywhere.

It is proven that when women are educated, the ability of the country goes up immediately.

I don't care about skin the color, everybody is a human being. Beneath every skin color, you bleed red. That's just the bottom line of the truth.

It doesn't matter what challenge you face, the most important thing is, when you fall, how you rise and how high you want to go, where you want to go from that rise on.

You cannot transform the society of people if the people are not part of the change.

You have to stand for something or you fall for everything.

From the moment you are clear in your vision of yourself and how you project that vision in your family, your community and in the world, that's all that matters.

Dream big, as long as you do it in sync with your truth, with your heart, your brain. And you are not hurting anybody, go ahead and do it.

My legacy is not only about legacy, it's about how we as a human family learn to live together within our difference.

I don't like the idea of something being pure. It means we have to be perfect, I don't want to be perfect.

It's the love you had that matters, isn't it, not the pain.

Spring time is nature at its best.

Unhappy times are the best for levity. You don't light candles in the middle of the day, do you?

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

I can't wait for the day I learn to live in the now!

The path to the inwardly enriched life is not hidden from the man or woman who longs to walk upon it.

Ladies in bunches always filled me with vague apprehension and a firm desire to be elsewhere.

For each man there awaits... a particular image capable of annihilating the entire universe.

A Champion is all they can be in every facet of their lives. They prioritize what they need to get done. But for me it's someone who works every single day on being a better person.

We survived Nixon and Reagan and George Bush, and so we can survive anything that comes along.
