New York traffic can drive you crazy.

Everything that has ever happened to you has happened for you. Not one thing that has happened is wasted... You were building strength and strength x strength = POWER.

Know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.

I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.

There is the voice that everybody hears... saying to you, "You should do this, you should be this, you ought to, you got to." And then there is the still small voice - for some people not so small - inside every human being that calls you to something that is greater than yourself.

I believe in the power that not only allows the sun to rise but turns seeds into flowers and dreams into realities.
