Melinda French Gates
“If you don’t set your own agenda, somebody else will.” If I didn’t fill my schedule with things I felt were important, other people would fill my schedule with things they felt were important.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Haemin Sunim
“What makes music beautiful is the distance between one note and another. What makes speech eloquent is the appropriate pause between words. From time to time we should take a breath and notice the silence between sounds.”
Haemin Sunim, The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World

Melinda French Gates
“Every society says its outsiders are the problem. But the outsiders are not the problem; the urge to create outsiders is the problem. Overcoming that urge is our greatest challenge and our greatest promise. It will take courage and insight, because the people we push to the margins are the ones who trigger in us the feelings we're afraid of.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Melinda French Gates
“As women gain rights, families flourish, and so do societies. That connection is built on a simple truth: Whenever you include a group that's been excluded, you benefit everyone. And when you're working globally to include women and girls, who are half of every population, you're working to benefit all members of every community. Gender equity lifts everyone. Women's rights and society's health and wealth rise together.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Melinda French Gates
“Being a feminist means believing that every woman should be able to use her voice and pursue her potential, and that women and men should all work together to take down the barriers and end the biases that still hold women back.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World
