When ordinary people decide to do extraordinary things they transform their lives and the lives of others around them.

The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.

If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.

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.

Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.

Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom.
