Every woman feels she is too old and has missed the boat.
I am quite prepared, if we can do it without any disrespect to the Crown of England, to bring our titles to the marketplace and make a bonfire of them.
We are here a nation, composed of the most heterogeneous elements-Protestants and Catholics, English, French, German, Irish, Scotch, every one, let it be remembered, with his traditions, with his prejudices.

What is hateful is not rebellion but the despotism which induces the rebellion; what is hateful are not rebels but the men, who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; they are the men who, having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitioners that are sent to them; they are the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone.

It's not getting what you want that's the hard part, it's deciding what you want.
Whatever it is that you do, if you have that passion and desire for it, that's the most important thing.
All you can do is all you can do. . . If all you can do, is still not good enough, then go do something else.
We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.
