„Teach thy tongue to say, “I do not know,” and thous shalt progress.”

You are remembered for the rules you break.

To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.

The world doesn’t happen to you it happens from you.

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.

I am not in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people.

I'd rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not done.
