A Nation can rise no higher than its women

Accept and acknowledge your own brilliance. Stop waiting for others to tell you how great you are! Believe it for yourself and about yourself.

You can never leave footprints that last if you are always walking on tiptoe.

The purpose of life...is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.

You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.
