1. There
is not love where there is no will.

is a virtue of the brave.
3. A
nation’s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in

to do everything with money.

cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one.
8. There
are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.
Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

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.
15. 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.
16. If
I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the
violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my
dying.
17. Martyrdom
does not end something, it only a beginning.
18. My
father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am
not.
