“Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself,— that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.”

“You should leave that place, my girl” “you know me better than that.” “yes, I do. Too brave for your own good. Too brave now, I think.” “would you have me any less?” “I’m sorry. No, I wouldn’t have you less.””

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”

“Don't think too much. That makes you believe you have more choices than you do. Then you mind becomes confused.”

“See, the world is full of things more powerful than us. But if you know how to catch a ride, you can go places”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”

“If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.”

“Being a woman, you have to work extra hard to prove yourself — even more than a man. Some men might not like that, but that's the way it is. Work hard, be strong and don't let anything deter you. I've done it. You can do it, too.”

“We keep acting without thinking and you think the solution is to do it one more time. You have allied yourself with stupid, violent men, and you are trying to convince yourself that being stupid and violent will work. That makes you stupid too. I will never help you. I’ll fight you now.”

“Always try to associate yourself with and learn as much as you can from those who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you.”
