Michelle Obama
“You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”
Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama
“I've been lucky enough now in my life to meet all sorts of extraordinary and accomplished people - world leaders, inventors, musicians, astronauts, athletes, professors, entrepreneurs, artists and writers, pioneering doctors and researchers. Some (though not enough) of them are women. Some (though not enough) are black or of color. Some were born poor or have lives that to many of us would appear to have been unfairly heaped with adversity, and yet still they seem to operate as if they've had every advantage in the world. What I've learned is this: All of them have had doubters. Some continue to have roaring, stadium-sized collection of critics and naysayers who will shout I told you so at every little misstep or mistake. The noise doesn't go away, but the most successful people I know have figured out how to live with it, to lean on the people who believe in them, and to push onward with their goals.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Mór Jókai
“Apafi leült, mint valami áldozatra szánt bárány, s első kezdetnek akkora betűt kanyarított a pergamenre, hogy a török fölugrott ijedtében, s azt kérdte, hogy mi az.
- Ez egy M betű - válaszolt Apafi.
- De hát a többinek is hagyjon kend helyet.
- Ez csak kezdőbetű, a többi majd apró lesz.
- No hát mondja kegyelmed fennhangon, hogy mit ír.
Apafi reszketve írt és mondá:
- Minekutána…
A basa elkapta előle dühösen a pergament, s ráordított:
- Mit “minekutána” és “annakutána”! Mit cikornyázza kegyelmed. Írja kegyelmed úgy, ahogy szokás: “Mi Apafi Mihály, Erdély fejedelme, parancsoljuk neked, hitvány szolga, hogy amint e levelet veszed, legottan mielőttünk Kisselyk helységében megjelenni - fejed vesztésének büntetése alatt - el ne mulaszd.” Punktum.
Apafinak nagy bajába került kapacitálhatni a basát arról, miszerint magyar nemesekkel nem szokás ilyen stílusban korrespondeálni: végre is annyit megengedett neki, hogy fogalmazza hát úgy a levelet, ahogy neki jobban tetszik, de tartalma határozott legyen és parancsoló.”
Jókai Mór

“Lehet, hogy ő is meghalt már, csak nem vette még észre? Lehet, hogy az ember hamarabb meghal, mint tudomást szerezne erről?”
