You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

I'd never really heard of financial abuse, although it makes so much sense when you hear it defined.

My tattoos remind me of all that I have been through.

Peter [Facinelli] would be so good at doing that. I want him to do the Beyoncé biopic.

My heavenly citizenship makes the whole world a foreign mission field.

The thing I see for myself is to be the best ever.
