You have the power. You are the magic wand.

A woman should always be more concerned with standing up for what is right than making sure everyone 'likes' her.

I'm making an announcement: Not one penny will I give to AIDS anything as long as [public sex is allowed in gay bathhouses]. Not cent one. It's a preventable disease. If you don't want to prevent it, I don't want to pay for it.

So it is the fear, weakness, selfishness, and cowardice of onlookers that permit evil behavior to persist.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

Postponing happiness until "all your ducks are in order" means never because life is not that clean, fair or predictable. It isn't what happens to you that defines your life, it is what you do with it that does.

When you choose wrong because it suits you right now, the message you give others is that when it suits you, you may likely do wrong again. You become a threat and liability to others. That's a pragmatic reason, outside of pride in morality, not to do wrong.
