Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Nothing in the Golden Rule says that others will treat us as we have treated them. It only says that we must treat others in a way that we would want to be treated.

I will always work for human rights for all people.

Since I have always been a strong believer in God, I knew that He was with me, and only He could get me through that next step

I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet.
