A lesson on class and leadership from First Lady Michelle Obama

“Family motto: “When they go low; we go high.”

Quote: Two powers in the world…

“There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.” ― Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Quote: All mortals are equal…

Les mortels sont égaux; ce n’est pas la naissance, C’est la seule vertu qui fait la différence. All mortals are equal; it is not their birth, But virtue itself that makes the difference. Voltaire, Eriphile, act II, scene I (1732); these lines were also used in Mahomet, act I, scene IV (1741)

Quote: Man is free…

L’homme est libre au moment qu’il veut l’être. Man is free at the instant he wants to be. Voltaire, Brutus, act II, scene I (1730)

Voulez-vous avoir de bonnes lois; brûlez les vôtres, et faites-en de nouvelles.

If you want good laws, burn those you have and make new ones.

~ Voltaire, Laws (1765)
