The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?

To lead people walk behind them.

A man makes you feel important – makes you glad you are a woman.

The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off – we do not have to stand for this.

Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

We can never make ourselves better by trying… praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don’t get me wrong… it’s not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it’s good. It’s just that doing them in God’s power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.

I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.

I defy gravity.

Her body calculated to a millimeter to suggest a bud yet guarantee a flower.

We talk about this concept of openness and transparency as the high-level ideal that we’re moving towards at Facebook. The way that we get there is by empowering people to share and connect. The combination of those two things leads the world to become more open.

Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone.

Woman was God’s second mistake.

I’m not looking for sympathy at all.

I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it.

If you’re too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.

Judge Afiuni has suffered enough. She has been subject to acts of violence and humiliations to undermine her human dignity. I am convinced that she must be set free.

I think everyone should be with who they love.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.

No sanction can stand against ignited minds.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, ‚We did it ourselves.‘

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

We humans for millions of years were nomadic. We associated freedom and well-being with the ability to move into open spaces, to find places more suited to hunting.

God helps those who help themselves.

Nothing external to you has any power over you.

Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it’s that I’ve never been a kept woman.

One of the things that was really an issue was I did not want to just be a woman secretary of state. I wanted to be a secretary of a state who was a woman, but not just chosen for that particular reason.

You have to develop ways so that you can take up for yourself, and then you take up for someone else. And so sooner or later, you have enough courage to really stand up for the human race and say, ‚I’m a representative.‘

If you ever need anything please don’t hesitate to ask someone else first.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important.

Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.

I feel you’re in charge of your own situation.

My main goal is to be a self-made man and have control over what’s mine.

I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.

My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father’s head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap.

Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.

Freedom is not enough.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

Too many Christians live their lives like slaves – to the devil – because they believe his lies more than they trust God.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

Nobody is my boss.

Art is to be free. Design is to fix.
