Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers or preparing meals moms continuously put others before themselves.
Everyone who achieves success in a great venture solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.
I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things but only what is just whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.

Trust men and they will be true to you treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.
I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead their lives as they choose they will succeed.
Gandhi has asked that the British Government should walk out of India and leave the Indian people to settle differences among themselves even if it means chaos and confusion.
If indeed a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes and yet the government of course is arming criminals.
The lies the government and media tell are amplifications of the lies we tell ourselves. To stop being conned stop conning yourself.
If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot therefore maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
The office of government is not to confer happiness but to give men the opportunity to work out happiness for themselves.
We should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.
A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence the morality the justice and the interest of the people themselves.
We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.
