Harvey Milk

All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.

It takes no compromise to give people their rights … it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give them freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.

The fact that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than any other single reason. That, that my friends, that is true perversion!

All men are created equal. No matter how hard they try, they can never erase those words. That is what America is about.

There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.

See yourself as a work in progress.

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.

People who have good relationships at home are more effective in the marketplace.

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.

To be candid, some people have given positive thinking a bad name. I can’t stand to hear some gung-ho individual say that with positive thinking you can just do ‘anything.’ If you think about that one for a moment, you recognize the absurdity of it.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Motivation is the fuel necessary to keep the human engine running.

Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself, “Nothing is impossible!!!”

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Yes, we can

You can do it all. Don’t ever let anyone limit you. As long as you are authentic to you, do you.

You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

That’s how we do it… we give back to the people who made us who we are. We never forget that.

Decide what you want, and decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work.
