Hannah Simone Quotes

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.

Values are more important than money.

I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that's the core of who you are. But there's always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want.

Life is essentially a question of values.

I'm willing to negotiate, but not compromise my core principles.

If you don't have solid beliefs you cannot build a stable life. Beliefs are like the foundation of a building, and they are the foundation to build your life upon.

But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.

It's not about the money with me.

What you believe, what you value, how you live, matters.

Lives, like money, are spent. What are you buying with yours?

It is not so much what you believe in that matters, as the way in which you believe it and proceed to translate that belief into action.

When you want to know something about the character of somebody in public life, look to see if they have a passion that began long before they were in office and that they have consistently held it throughout their career.

There is a fundamental question we all have to face. How are we to live our lives; by what principles and moral values will we be guided and inspired?

People talk about balance. Balance is an awful measure of things because it implies a scale that inevitably tips. I like to look through the filter of, 'Is the life I'm leading consistent with my priorities?' For me, my family is the ultimate litmus test.

Create a ladder of values and priorities in your life, reminding yourself of what really matters to you.

The personal mission statement was important for me because I believe that you can't lead others unless you have a strong sense of who you are and what you stand for.

Politics is compromise, by its very nature. But we never compromise on our values and beliefs.

I'm always going to stand up for my beliefs and stand behind them.

I will not ever change my principles. I will not do it. We have a 'how.' This is the most important thing we have - the 'how' we do things. Our style, our ideas, our principles with our mistakes that we have to correct.

I know what really matters in my life.

My faith is what defines me as a person, that is who I am.

Whatever religion or wisdom, spirituality and values are important to me and to the business.

I still want to hold on to my beliefs, and as long as I have that, I won't stray too far from politics.

You have to know what you stand for, not just what you stand against.

Principles are what allow you to live a life consistent with those values. Principles connect your values to your actions.
