All lives have an equal value.

I learn in a different way. I learn experientially.

I realized that the only way to get into a good college was to be valedictorian or salutatorian. So that was my goal.

I think the Americans need to understand that a lot of times the children are bored in school, and that is why they are not staying in.

I'm constantly saying to myself, 'I'm lucky I was born in the United States.'

I'm wholehearted about whatever I do.

If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.

In the developing world, it's about time that women are on the agenda. For instance, 80 percent of small-subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are women, and yet all the programs in the past were predominantly focused on men.

Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.

Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh.

We would be driving down the street in a place like Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and started to see, my gosh, the only people that have shoes are men. Why does that woman have a baby in her belly and one on her back, and she's carrying a huge load of bananas? You start to ask these questions.

Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.

You can have the best vaccines for a woman or her child, but if you can't get her to come and get them then they won't work.

You can't save kids just with vaccines.

A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman.

A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.

Helping people doesnt have to be an unsound financial strategy.

Sometimes it's the people you can't help who inspire you the most.

I tell my daughters to have their voice in this world, and it became clear I needed to role model that.

The association promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in any prior decisions.

Waste no time with revolutions that do not remove the causes of your complaints but simply change the faces of those in charge.

Evil events from evil causes spring.
