“I've been involved in politics for quite some time. I've held position...” — Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Quote

I've been involved in politics for quite some time. I've held positions, and my experiences are very deep, and I think I have the capacity, the courage, and the character to institute the kinds of reforms that are so desperately needed.

I think we're ready for succession. We just must try to do it right.

I beg you I no magician. I can't just wave a magic wand.

My mother was a disciplinarian. She believed that when young girls start to go out with young boys, they get married.

I just think that unless you have that cohesiveness in the family unit, the male character tends to become very dominant, repressive and insensitive. So much of this comes also from a lack of education.

Congress never loses its capacity to disappoint you.

Movies alone have the hideous capacity to do everything for you. So in directing movies, you have to figure how to leave things out - because when you leave things out, you evoke the imaginative participation of the audience.

We, as human beings, have the capacity for extreme cruelty.

The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.

Relationships with people in general, in no matter what capacity, are something that's very emotional. They mean a lot to you. I think having eyes on that in a critical way can be really tough.
