“Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.”

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you just don't understand the situation.”

“I look at my children and I say, 'To whom much is given, much is expected.'”

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”

“I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.”

“Children should be given enough money to do something, but not enough to do nothing.”

“I have always believed that when you are in the right, you should never be afraid of fighting for it.”

“No one will ever feel sorry for you, so you have to go out and make your own way.”

“I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am not human.”

“Make sure you are in a state of grace, because you never know when you'll have an audience with God.”

“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?”

“It is selfish to concern oneself with tragedies. We are not here to cry, we are here to fight.”

“Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety.”
