I have led the way for moving women from traditional roles to strategic positions and inspired girls and women throughout Africa to seek leadership positions.

The world has become more diversified, with women becoming a real power of change.

If women decide that their mission, their political career, balances out what they have to give up, they can be and are equally successful as men.

There is an English saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Women often become these tough ones.

Hard work, courage and commitment - these are the key elements for success.

I don't subscribe to that school of thought that leadership can be altogether defined by gender.

I have learned from my own experience that if you work hard you will succeed.

I am a person of action. If I see I can bring a positive change, I will go for it, never mind that something might be hard to achieve.

During my election campaign I was not giving out empty promises, but invited every member of society to join the efforts to work for a better life in Lithuania.

I never had ambition to become president of the state or to accomplish more than men.

If there were more women heads of state in the world, the world would be more peaceful and better focused on the improvement of the overall quality of life and welfare.

That deep longing that you keep dismissing as impractical, may be the very thing your soul is calling you to do.

Indeed, no woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.

Fighting the Traditional Marriage is provoking God

I'm not always sincere. One can't be in this world, you know.

Grace is a divine strength.

Jesus was a good guy, he didn't need this shit.

[The Republicans] are always asking the Muslims to denounce their extremists. And I agree with them. But they don't take that note and do it among their own. They don't denounce their own extremists.

Chaos claims the unwary or the incomplete. A true man may flinch away its embrace, if he is stalwart, and he girds his soul with the armour of contempt.

I think entrepreneurs have a great opportunity to think of how to make things more understandable, simple and beautiful.

It is not a persuasive argument that an evil should continue because it has existed in the past.
