It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart but only one thing to prove you are ignorant.

I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing.

A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural educational aesthetic inspirational and economic legacies - all of the things that quite literally make us who we are.

I've done a lot of albums and I kinda know when I'm onto something that was inspirational for me to record and create and this was one of those projects where I really enjoyed making the album.

This CD became something of a personal journey for me. The tone of the whole CD is uplifting and inspirational. It's an upper. We have enough downers in the world.

Every song you're trying to find something that going to connect in different ways but for me the songs that I'm really drawn to are inspirational songs that lift you and that everybody can relate to no matter where you're from.

I think the end goal hopefully is to take advantage of the attention I've gotten along the way and use it for good and build some communities and as I get older I can continue to do things and be surrounded by things that are inspirational to me.

I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I'm trying to do creatively. At the same time I do think it's wonderful when I hear people say that it's inspirational that I'm an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse and my friends are a diverse group of people.

I wanted to do something inspirational for my children.

One of the things that I did before I ran for president is I was a professional speaker. Not a motivational speaker - an inspirational speaker. Motivation comes from within. You have to be inspired. That's what I do. I inspire people I inspire the public I inspire my staff. I inspired the organizations I took over to want to succeed.

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.

Nothing makes one feel so strong as a call for help.

The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.

I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.

A human being has so many skins inside covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things but we don't know ourselves! Why thirty or forty skins or hides as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things but that he can command himself that he cannot coerce the wills of others but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create to overcome to endure to transform to love and to be greater than our suffering.

When deeds speak words are nothing.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.

With self-discipline most anything is possible.

A place for everything everything in its place.

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.
