Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found.
The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
The Lord gave me 'Sojourner,' because I was to travel up an' down the land, showin' the people their sins an' bein' a sign unto them. Afterwards, I told the Lord I wanted another name 'cause everybody else had two names, and the Lord gave me 'Truth,' because I was to declare the truth to people.
Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.
It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides.

Each day provides its own gifts.
One thing I've learned through all the ups and downs is that if you're doing things right, then you have a core group of people. Not just a core group like your homies or your buddies, but a group of people that has a good influence on you, who you respect and admire, and you know that if they're on your side, you're doing something right.
I have my own demons and dark moods. It's weird.
A man is known by the silence he keeps.
Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door.
Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother.
