Never for a moment allow your greatness to interfere with your goodness.

In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.

I have crossed over on the backs of Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Madam C. J. Walker. Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.

You cannot be loving when you are blaming. You cannot be loving when you are criticising. You cannot be loving when you are judging.

Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.

I know that I am more than my personality, my body, and my body image.

What I have learned in my life and work is that the more I am able to be myself, the more it enables other people to be themselves.
