“Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being.”

We gain courage and wisdom from every instance in which we stop to look fear in the face

What you don’t do can be a destructive force.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

Once I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

There is nothing to fear except fear it’s self.

Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

To be a citizen in a democracy, a human being must be given a healthy start.

Light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.

When it’s better for everyone, it’s better for everyone.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Every woman wants to be first to someone sometime in her life and that desire is the explanation for many strange things women do.

Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.

Free will exist only in a confused mind.

Who could ever think that not believing in myself was freedom.

I’m the type of person who, if somebody offers me a free meal, I get excited because you never know where your next free meal is going to come from.

To be free is not necessarily to be wise. Wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest.

Kids should speak to each other. They’re horrid to each other online, they bully each other – they should shut up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It’s too much, too young.

Our government conceived in freedom and purchased with blood can be preserved only by constant vigilance.

Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they cannot be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost.

I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.
