Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.

We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.

In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place.

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.

If you don't understand yourself you don't understand anybody else

You can have it all. You just can't have it all at once.
