Moving forward

Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood... will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
My father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not.
There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.
A nation' s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
We have believed-and we do believe now-that freedom is indivisible, that peace is indivisible, that economic prosperity is indivisible.
Martyrdom does not end something, its only a beginning.
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
