I might bend, but I will NEVER break because it's in my nature as a strong woman.

Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

I fear nothing for God is with me!

Do not look the other way; do not hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage and vision.

If calamities had the weight of physical objects we should long have been crushed down, or else, we should by now have been hunchbacked, unsteady on our feet, and with faces full of gloom and utter despair. Yet my entire body throbs with life and is full of expectations. Each day brings a fresh stock of experiences and new dreams.

To a contrarian like me, constant advice not to do something almost always starts me quickly down the risky, unpopular path.
