It appears easier to talk about protecting women than it is to fully include women at all decision-making levels in peace talks and post-conflict planning.

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.

For every great success, diligence is desirable from the beginning to the very end.

Degree of conformance to our other beliefs. One of our criteria for the assessment of explanations is coherence with our existing beliefs.

The cause of all our personal problems and nearly all the problems of the world can be summed up in a single sentence:Human life is very deep, and our modern dominant lifestyle is not.

Right isn't always legal.

I'm going to be working on my shot. Working on extending my range. Keep working on everything, and really studying the game.

Control your inner dialogue. Talk to yourself positively all the time.

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward.

Study first, play afterwards.

Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.

I've found joy, peace and perspective. Those are very good things to have.
