We say that money talks, but it speaks a broken, poverty-stricken language. Hearts talk better, clearer, and with wider intelligence.

My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias.

Peace without justice is tyranny

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals.

In education, we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.

Any appeasement of tyranny is treason.

I have tried to teach people there are three kicks in every dollar: one, when you make it; two, when you have it. The third kick it when you give it away - and it is the biggest kick of all.

Dip your pen into your arteries and write.

Since others have to tolerate my weaknesses, it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs.

A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal.

God gives us our relatives, thank God we can choose our friends.

I'll occasionally go and do an honor like the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund because it raises money for a very worthy organization.

Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous.

I want to win. I don't care about the money.

When I think of myself, I'm definitely... I'm not like a comedian.

You have to understand where the camera needs to me. There were times where you were suddenly aware where the cameras were, then you were in a different place and it didn't feel like the same movie.

Whatever circumstance it is, if you always do your best, then you can't beat yourself up, basically.

Sometimes grief is a comfort we grant ourselves because it's less terrifying than trying for joy.

But I'm real conscious about what I do. I don't care what the label is. I'm looking at the outcome of it.

You can’t stop being who you are because you’re afraid.
