I learned that I had to work triply hard every time I started a new job in a newsroom to prove my value and worth.

Forcing victims of sexual harassment into secret arbitration proceedings is wrong because it means that nobody ever finds out what really happened.

I'm a big believer in always challenging yourself and learning new skills.

Trust is the most important aspect of being a journalist. If people don't trust or find you relatable - you will not have success.

Every gift opens a heavenly door to the giver.

It is often assumed that money is the only motivational factor. Wrong.Fear is also important. Save money. Use fear!

Enter into the plane of mental development. Start to increase your personal power level. Your life will become quite wonderful and very happy. You move beyond delusion.

Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Life always comes out of death. The present rises from the ashes of the past. The future is always possible for those who are willing to re-create it.

I went to boarding school and then I went to Oxford, and I know how easy it is for certain groups of people to become wholly insulated from ordinary life.

When one is in office one has no idea how damnable things can feel to the ordinary rank and file of the public.
