Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.

Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

Self-actualized people are independent of the good opinion of others.

You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don’t know what’s goin‘ on, I then got the money, and gone.

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

You have enough people against you… be for yourself.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

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.

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.

The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ’s name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.

For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant – Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world – including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

I’ve always felt heroic about my life… As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn’t think that was the case at all. My parents didn’t treat me as a girl.

A whole people with the ballot in their hands possess the most conclusive and unlimited power ever entrusted to humanity.

We can be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money; and yet for the freedom and command of the whole earth, and for the great benefits of our being, our life, health, and reason, we look upon ourselves as under no obligation.

The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can’t have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I’d rather not be in a cage. I’d rather be dead. And it’s real simple. And I think it’s not that uncommon.

We don’t need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.

We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

Self-respect knows no considerations.

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.

Be proud to be Latino and never lose that pride!

Consciously or unconsciously most of us adhere to what is expected of our role because we realize our social success depends on this. Some may refuse to play this game, but in the end they are marginalized and forced to play the outsider role, with limited options and decreasing freedom as they get older.

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

Now I do whatever I want.

Nothing external to you has any power over you.

I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

Never forget the three powerful resources you always have available to you: love, prayer, and forgiveness.

I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist, but I don’t like girls pretending to be stupid because it’s easier.

If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? – not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.

Only the educated are free.

Most of us are raised to believe we are ordinary. The anchor of the universe is present in every child. A parent only needs to guide and step aside and let them fulfill their dharma. Help children remember that they can do or be anything.

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 advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

Boldness be my friend.

I affirm to you the tremendous potential you have, not beyond anything you could ever imagine.

The most common criticism I get is that I’m being manipulated and you shouldn’t use children in political ways, because that is abuse, and I can’t think for myself and so on. And I think that is so annoying! I’m also allowed to have a say – why shouldn’t I be able to form my own opinion and try to change people’s minds?

I’m a mama’s boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother. I won’t do a movie or a video that would bring disrespect to my mother.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I hate victims who respect their executioners.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.
