In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.

The time will come when it will disgust you to look in the mirror.

I have always believed that God never gives a cross to bear larger than we can carry. No matter what, he wants us to be happy, not sad. birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn't we?

There can be no really pervasive system of oppression, such as that in the United States, without the consent of the oppressed

Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

Whenever I held my newborn baby in my arms, I used to think that what I said and did to him could have an influence not only on him but on all whom he met, not only for a day or a month or a year, but for all eternity - a very challenging and exciting thought for a mother.

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.
