To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.

I shall work for the Republican party and call on all women to join me, precisely…for what that party has done and promises to do for women, nothing more, nothing less.

Most bold change is the result of a hundred thousand tiny changes that culminate in a bold product or procedure or structure.

They [the Americans] have all a lively faith in the perfectibility of man, they judge that the diffusion of knowledge must necessarily be advantageous, and the consequences of ignorance fatal; they all consider society as a body in a state of improvement, humanity as a changing scene, in which nothing is, or ought to be, permanent; and they admit that what appears to them today to be good, may be superseded by something better tomorrow.

Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible:the fear of failure.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.

I’m not perfect. And who knows how many times I’ve fallen short. We all fall short. That’s the amazing thing about the grace of God.

Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide.

No man on earth is truly free. All are slaves of money or necessity. Public opinion or fear of prosecution forces each one, against his conscience, to conform.

When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can. Knowledge conquers fear.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!
