The use of the atomic bomb, with its indiscriminate killing of women and children, revolts my soul.

Women like to sit down with trouble – as if it were knitting.

I will not say that women have no character rather, they have a new one every day.

There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

Let’s stop pretending we can arrest our way to safety and security. Despite all the fine work that policemen and women do, we have got to find other solutions to deter crime.

Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Freedom is secured every day by our men and women in uniform. We must build a future worthy of their sacrifice.

You cannot escape the fact that women mould your first five years, whether you like it or not. And I can’t say I do like it very much.
