To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
It's always too early to quit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
My mission, I guess, has always been the kind of world where lesbian and gay people can celebrate who we are with equal freedom, dignity, and respect.
