It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
A good leader inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

The trouble is that not enough people have come together with the firm determination to live the things which they say they believe.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
