May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right.

The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave. The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.

It is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail.
