I'm just hoping that people understand that Islam is peace and not violence.

When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.

Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.

When I won the Golden Gloves in 1960, that made me realize I had a chance. And when I won at the Olympics, that sealed it: I was the champ.

Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right - when he knocks you down, you'll sleep for the night; and when you lie on the floor and the ref counts to ten, hope and pray that you never meet me again.

It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.

At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

The man who has no imagination has no wings.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Life is measured in love and positive contributions and moments of grace.

Every job is important because each one represents an American's livelihood and ability to raise a family. Yet spending our time building walls around America will do nothing to help us compete for the millions of new jobs being created.

I'm a pro-life candidate because I believe that science is proving us right every day.

The highest calling of leadership is to challenge the status quo and unlock the potential of others. We need a leader who will lead the resurgence of this great nation and unlock its potential once again.

We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.

My mother taught me about the power of inspiration and courage, and she did it with a strength and a passion that I wish could be bottled.

You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology - it's not only a great tool for democratization, but it's a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.

Leadership comes in small acts as well as bold strokes.

To build a great company, which is a CEO's job, sometimes you have to stand up against conventional wisdom.

The truth is, I'm proud of the life I've lived so far, and though I've made my share of mistakes, I have no regrets.

I think Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme; it's common sense. We need to secure the border.

The most important thing in anyone's life is to be giving something. The quality I can give is fun and joy and happiness. This is my gift.

My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!

I yearned for a long, happy marriage with one person.

I won't go to movies with permissiveness, four-letter words, or violence. Show me 'E.T.' and 'Chariots of Fire' instead. That's entertainment, not exploitation of the human body.

The only way to enjoy anything in this life is to earn it first.

I enjoy sports, and love being involved in any outdoor sport from volleyball to softball. I'm not being immodest when I say I'm a natural athlete.

Looking back at my life's voyage, I can only say that it has been a golden trip.

For me, cooking is an extension of love.

A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.

I really do think that putting expectations on a holiday is setting yourself up for failure.

'Endless Love' is such a perfect love song for a wedding or for a Valentine, because that is the committed kind of endless love. All the lyrics are perfect.

Occasionally, I share advice, but most of my advice is based on my personal experience.

I respect and admire the Mormon faith. And I am eternally grateful that we live in a country where we have the freedom to worship as we choose.

I have never once celebrated a Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday. For me, it's another opportunity to tell my kids or whoever how much I love them. I hang pink crepe paper and make heart-shaped pancakes!

When I see people wasting their hours doing nothing productive, nothing to contribute to the world, nothing to build relationships, it makes me sad. Actually, it makes me mad. I want to scream, 'Wake up!'.

Just be yourself, and enjoy the blessings that God's borne out on you.

We had an argument, and he told me to be home at midnight, and I said no. And so when I did come home, the door was locked. And I had gotten a set of luggage for graduation that day, and it was on the front porch, packed. He thought that he was going to prove a point and I was going to say, 'Oh, I'm sorry, Daddy, I'm sorry'.

The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.

I'm passionate about my fans and my shows. But my biggest reward in the success that is my life are my husband and kids.

There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool.

I've never been cool - and I don't care.

My kids give me the balance to live right.

Some people can't stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I'm a regular talking machine. It's all or nothing for me.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.

I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.

Remember our proud history of social justice, universal health care, public pensions and making sure no one is left behind. Let's continue to move forward.

To be poor does not mean you lack the means to extend charity to another. You may lack money or food, but you have the gift of friendship to overwhelm the loneliness that grips the lives of so many.
