I learned then that practically no one in the world is entirely bad or entirely good, and that motives are often more important than actions.

The kind of propaganda that some of the religious groups, aided and abetted by the opposition, put forth in that campaign utterly disgusted me. If I needed anything to show me what prejudice can do to the intelligence of human beings that campaign was the best lesson I could have had.

I never waste time looking back.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!

You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
