I never underestimated myself. And I never saw anything wrong with ambition.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.

Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.

I used to be so delusional. I always imagined I could be more than I was, and eventually I grew and evolved into that person.

We do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him and his a proper security, a reasonable leisure, and a decent living throughout life, is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
