The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Nothing ever comes to one that is worth having except as a result of hard work.

Women can't do everything at the same time we need to understand milestones in our lives comes in segments.

I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.

I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic that really comes out of the culture that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.

We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us the love of Black women for each other.

I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything.

Wisdom comes by disillusionment.

Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do.

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep too grave to laugh and too selfish to seek other than itself.

When an opponent comes forward move in and greet him if he wants to pull back send him on his way.

But the war on terror as I have repeatedly said in the past and the Afghan people believe in it in truth is that the war on terror is not in the Afghan villages or homes. Its in the sanctuaries it is in the training grounds its in the motivation factors and the money that comes to it.

A state of war is not a blank check... when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens.

Every day it becomes clearer that this was the wrong war at the wrong time.
