The world has become more diversified, with women becoming a real power of change.

If women decide that their mission, their political career, balances out what they have to give up, they can be and are equally successful as men.

There is an English saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Women often become these tough ones.

Hard work, courage and commitment - these are the key elements for success.

I don't subscribe to that school of thought that leadership can be altogether defined by gender.

I have learned from my own experience that if you work hard you will succeed.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

During my election campaign I was not giving out empty promises, but invited every member of society to join the efforts to work for a better life in Lithuania.

I never had ambition to become president of the state or to accomplish more than men.

If there were more women heads of state in the world, the world would be more peaceful and better focused on the improvement of the overall quality of life and welfare.

There are many examples of female leaders who are not afraid to take responsibility and openly face the challenges in the worst situations.

Once you let the truth loose it is like setting a fire that you can't stop.

I always like the story behind the story more than the story itself.

Revenge is an inhuman word.

There's just one thing I can't figure out. My income tax!

It would be bad form for me to describe people I don't know and don't understand.

Pride is the utter poverty of soul disguised as riches, imaginary light where in fact there is darkness.

The ugly can achieve an absoluteness beyond the reach of beauty.

As for poverty, no one need be ashamed to admit it, the real shame is in not taking practical measures to escape from it.

You are so beautiful, it hurts me sometimes. -Dimitri to Rose
