My children are my whole life.

Good mothers and good fathers and good families don't always have great children.

My faith keeps me strong.

I'm very proud of my daughter. She accomplished a whole lot in the short time that she had here... she was a very wonderful person.

When you have a spiritual foundation, you look at poverty differently then.

I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, 'Don't lose heart, God has his own plans.' Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.

I never had faith that the answers to human problems lay in anything that could be called political. I thought the answers, if there were answers, lay someplace in man's soul.

Many have a vague idea that they must make some wonderful effort in order to gain the favor of God. But all self-dependence is vain. It is only by connecting with Jesus through faith that the sinner becomes a hopeful, believing child of God.
