Rudeness is the weak person's imitation of strength.

What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

The right of conquest has no foundation other than the right of the strongest.

It cannot be your duty to do anything that is beyond your reach or your strength at the moment. It cannot be your duty to do anything that sacrifices your own integrity or your own spiritual development.

Gentleness is strength under control. It is the ability to stay calm, no matter what happens.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.
