Women

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Oh, but you know, you do not achieve anything without trouble, ever.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

Democracy is the best revenge.

Probably my worst quality is that I get very passionate about what I think is right.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

Be it known that we, the greatest, are misthought.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy PURPOSE.

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.

Differences can be a strength.

I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

I would want them to decide to have babies. But every woman has to make her own choices.

Reality has changed, and we changed with it. However, I never changed sides. I have always been on the side of justice, democracy and social equality.

We have to be careful in how we use this light shined on us.

My mother's love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, her intelligence reflected in my daughters.

Public schools were designed as the great equalizers of our society - the place where all children could have access to educational opportunities to make something of themselves in adulthood.

Together we can face any challenges as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky.

Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.

It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.
