My Father Always Would Say, "my Daughter Will Go Into Politics? My Daughter Will Become Prime Minister", But It's Not What I Wanted To Do. I Would Say, "no, Papa, I Will Never Go Into Politics."

Ultimately, Leadership Is About The Strength Of One's Convictions, The Ability To Endure The Punches, And The Energy To Promote An Idea. And I Have Found That Those Who Do Achieve Peace Never Acquiesce To Obstacles, Especially Those Constructed Of Bigotry, Intolerance, And Inflexible Tradition.
