Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re all sweating it – when we’re worried that the bill won’t pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward… with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.

I say this everywhere I go: I admire and respect Hillary. She has been a lawyer, a law professor, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State.

Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

A good day is one where I can not just read a book, but write a review of it. Maybe today I’ll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I’m crepuscular.

I didn’t do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.

I could never identify with that word, ‚weak.‘

I knew through the surgeries that he was on my side and that this wasn’t something where I was gonna feel less of a woman, because my husband wasn’t gonna let that happen.

Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.

As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.

One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.

There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.

In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.

It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.

I pass my life in preventing the storm from blowing down the tent, and I drive in the pegs as fast as they are pulled up.

I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.
