Men weren’t always happy for me. It was very challenging to watch a woman be so successful.

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.

I think the reason my stories have been so successful is that I have a strong sense of metaphor.

The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good.

Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be a genius. You don’t have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.

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

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.

Each daughter of God is of infinite worth because of her divine mission.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.

If thou art a man, admire those who attempt great things, even though they fail.

I have a self-defense mind. I’ve had it all my life.

Life is a constant oscillation between the sharp horns of dilemmas.

Now I do whatever I want.

Leaders in all spheres who are living with HIV should be encouraged, not coerced, to lead by example and disclose their HIV status.

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

God has entrusted me with myself.

The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?
