My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all.

Whatever you love most, you fear you might lose, you know it can change. Why do you look from left to right when you cross the street? Because you don’t want to get run over. But, you still cross the street.

I've always had- how shall I say it? -the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.

Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?

Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics.

Good things aren't supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first.

A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual.
