...without equality there can be no democracy.
A great deal of fear is a result of just “not knowing.” We do not know what is involved in a new situation. We do not know whether we can deal with it. The sooner we learn what it entails, the sooner we can dissolve our fear.
The more we simplify our material needs the more we are free to think of other things.
A day out-of-doors, someone I loved to talk with, a good book and some simple food and music - that would be rest.
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home.
The very next thing you need to be doing is the thing that terrifies you the most.
Women are like tea bags: put them in hot water and they get stronger.
We face the future fortified with the lessons we have learned from the past. It is today that we must create the world of the future.
We must do that which we think we cannot.
There is nothing to fear except fear it's self.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger. If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all.
Women are like tea bags.They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.
There never has been security. No man has ever known what he would meet around the next corner; if life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it.
