I am so tired of fear. And I don’t want my girls to live in a country, in a world, based on fear.

World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear – and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march.

If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.

It’s rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

A strong man doesn’t have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn’t match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.

Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.

I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.

In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear. Through initiatives like My Brother’s Keeper, I’m personally committed to changing both perception and reality.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.

Most people already know what they’re doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.

Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone… Bad food is fake food… food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people’s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives.

There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.

I believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.

In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

I’m afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.

The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate… we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

The world remains ever the same.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Oh, you weak, beautiful people who give up with such grace. What you need is someone to take hold of you – gently, with love, and hand your life back to you.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

My government is working for the common man. Our priority is the poor of the country. We want good governance through a dynamic and seamless government.

America is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.

It’s empowering to know I am doing something, I am taking a stand, I am disrupting.

No one can give you better advice than yourself.

In this business, by the time you realize you’re in trouble, it’s too late to save yourself. Unless you’re running scared all the time, you’re gone.

The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.

The truth is that the vast majority of Americans are good, fair, and just, and they want their country to reflect those ideals.

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.

The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It’s like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I’d like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.

To recruit staff, I traveled all over the country talking with people who had been working on one or another aspect of the atomic-energy enterprise and people in radar work, for example, and underwater sound, telling them about the job, the place that we are going to, and enlisting their enthusiasm.

All the top players in the world play 45-50-60 games. You need that many games, even the strikers need that many games.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever will be born must destroy a world.

I love women with attitude.

I’m not going to change the world. You’re not going to change the world. But we can help – we can all help.

I break ground. I trailblaze.

Death obsesses me, yes it does. I can’t really understand why it doesn’t obsess everyone – I think it does really, I’m just a little more out about it.

Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

I’m not that keen on the idea of being unconscious.

I find with most of my readers are kind of like me, sort of people who were a little bit naive in life and then learned the hard way that this is what’s going on, the political games and most of my readers write to me telling me that the book helped them open their eyes to what other people are doing to them.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Be proud to be Latino and never lose that pride!

I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we’re also starting to be really brave.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
