Becoming an inspiration for kids is great. I want to inspire them to do whatever they want to.

You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.

A great man is a torch in the darkness, a beacon in superstition's night, an inspiration and a prophecy.

Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.

The spirit of celebration and togetherness is a great source of inspiration.

Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.

I have done my post graduation in Business Administration.

School desegregation is associated with higher graduation rates, greater employability, higher earnings, and decreased rates of incarceration.

While I do commend the Administration on its commitment and focus on high school reform, I believe that we must focus on graduation as the key accountability measure.

Mentors provide professional networks, outlets for frustration, college and career counseling, general life advice, and most importantly, an extra voice telling a student they are smart enough and capable enough to cross the stage at graduation and land their first paycheck from a career pathway job.

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.

Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you're positive, good things happen.

Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work.

Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.

Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.

We are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God and for the liberation struggle of our people.

Every volcano is a powerful illustration of God's character. He is a Vesuvius of goodness, life, and energy.
