How hard it is to project oneself into the future. We are always prone to think of the conditions which are with us today as being permanent conditions.

I believe that it is essential to our leadership in the world and to the development of true democracy in our country to have no discrimination in our country whatsoever. This is most important in the schools of our country.

We can no longer oversimplify. We can no longer build lazy and false stereotypes: Americans are like this, Russians are like that, a Jew behaves in such a way, a Negro thinks in a different way. The lazy generalities - 'You know how women are ... Isn't that just like a man?' The world cannot be understood from a single point of view.

Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested.

Women are like tea bags.They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable.

Get out of the way as quickly as you're not needed.
