Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends.

You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are.

A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.

Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The power you have is to be the best version of yourself you can be, so you can create a better world.

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.

It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.

Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion.

I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.

It’s possible to climb to the top without stomping on other people.

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.

Power is not given to you. You have to take it.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman.

The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.

Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.

Power to me is the ability to make a change in a positive way.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

No matter what you look like or think you look like you’re special and loved and perfect just the way you are.

And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk more.

I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

Yes, I’m a feminist, because I see all women as smart, gifted, and tough.

I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning to sail my ship.

Not knowing you can’t do something, is sometimes all it takes to do it.

If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.

Don’t be the girl who fell. Be the girl who got back up.

Arrogance cometh before reality.

I might not be very smart, but I surround myself with smart people.

Your brain sends out vibrations all the time, and your thoughts affect your life and other people's. They pick up these thoughts and get changed by them. That's why, say, a pacifist gets caught up in a riot situation. It's a field of vibrations - you can 'feel' someone else's thoughts when close to them.

No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.

There's only one thing I never did and wish I had done: climbed over a fence.

When I turned about 14, I developed a friendship with this guy whose mom was the secretary to Ernest Angley, the faith healer, who's very popular in the Midwest. He had a television show, and he was sort of like Liberace mixed with Jerry Falwell - very glitzy, very high-tech.

Who can forget that in critical times of war in 1962, 1965 and 1971, Naga underground organisations did not fire on the Indian Army? They showed restraint.

A nervous breakdown waits around the corner for anyone who lets himself wallow in bitterness. Little by little it takes over your whole being.

Sometimes I don't use the words 'will' and 'want' in the right way. The German word 'will' is the English word 'want,' so that's a little bit of the problem.

If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well

If there wasn't any business and it was just strictly basketball, then there would be no issue, it would probably be done by now. But the team has to protect.

I will never work in a cubicle.

When you're dealing with a problem as complex as autism, you have to look at it from many different points of view and assemble evidence from many different vantage points. Biological evidence in humans and in animals, toxicologic evidence, how does the body deal with toxins, and evidence looking at the actual experience in populations.

The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.

There's a problem with political polling in that you have so much pressure to do what your client wants you to do and say what your client wants you to say. I've never felt that pressure. I am independent of the political parties.

When I was growing up, my favorite movie was 'Somewhere in Time' with Christopher Reeve, which is a hugely romantic, sappy movie. I couldn't understand it when the guy didn't get the girl or the girl didn't get the guy in love stories. I was definitely a sap.
