I dont want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

I firmly believe today that the only way to stop violence against women is to speak out and refused to be silenced.

Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.

Leadership is not about having the charisma or speaking inspirational words, but about leading with example.

Everything can be taken from you in a second, but the human spirit is so strong. War can teach you so much about evil, and so much about good.

Women are not just victims; they are survivors and leaders on the community-level backlines of peace and stability.

It seems to me that violence against women has been tolerated for so long that the world has become numb to it.

Changes don't happen in the world by playing it safe, taking risks is the way to change the world.

The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

Marriage as it should be... two individuals loving the other more than they cared for themselves. Giving and giving until theoretically they should be empty, yet always invigorated with more to give.

Never argue with a profit.

It is impossible for men by their own strength and natural ability to become Christians, but it is possible for God to make them Christians.

Cease to admire the smoke, wealth, and noise of prosperous Rome.

You come out of a working-class environment, you know, working-class kids always put them themselves together because it's one of the only things they had. You had control of your image.

Please leave the window open.

I expect we are all jealous of the women in their past, but how much less exciting if the women had not kept the bed warm.

Our love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not make us soft.

I am at peace with God; how then can I be confounded?
