Inspirational Quotes

I’d grown up in a family that believed you might not control your circumstances but you could control your reaction to them. There was no room for being a victim or depending on “the whyte man” to take care of you. That self sufficiency is the ethos passed down by my ancestors on both sides of the family and I have internalized it thoroughly.

— Condoleezza Rice, A Memoir of My Extraordinary, Ordinary Family and Me
