You do it for yourself. You don’t expect to change the world. You don’t even expect to influence your family or your friends. You do it because you can’t not do it and be who you are. Or who you’re meant to be.

A fool's mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man's tongue is under the control ofhis mind.

What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.

Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts.

Fair means everyone gets what they need. And the only way to get what you need is to make it happen yourself.

In this sad world of ours sorrow comes to all and it often comes with bitter agony. Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot now believe that you will ever feel better. But this is not true. You are sure to be happy again. Knowing this, truly believing it will make you less miserable now. I have had enough experience to make this statement.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.
