Influence is like a savings account, the less you use it, the more you've got

I wouldn't listen to my parents, but I found out that I absorbed. I never heard what they said - told me - but I did what they did.

I've always seen the Olympics as a place where you could act out your differences on the athletic field with a sense of sportsmanship and fairness and mutual respect.

Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.

If I hadn't been so outspoken, Jimmy Carter wouldn't have wanted me.

More and more I find I'm really impressed with how much my son knows and how much he thinks like me. But he never would agree with me and he never would listen to me on anything.

I always quoted to my parents from Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet." Your children are not your children. They come through you, but not from you. You can give them your love, but not your thoughts, for they come from a land that you cannot enter, not even in your wildest dreams.
