All You Have is YOU

When you have no one around you, believe that you got yourself and everything is gonna work perfectly.

Come What May

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

You Are Unique

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.

Do What You Should

Part of the reason [motherly advice] bugs us as daughters is because our mothers are so powerful in our lives. They loom like giants. The reason mothers keep at it is because they're so powerless. They cannot get you to do what is so obvious to them you should do.

Nobody But You

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

Help Someone Else

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a month -- get married. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.

Nothing is Predestined

Nothing is predestined: The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.

Tell Them

Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.

Don't Waste Time

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

All About Timing

“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.

Time is Priceless

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

Be Determined!

If a woman is sufficiently ambitious, determined and gifted - there is practically nothing she can't do

Vision and Action

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

Woman! Woman!

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes"; They will say, "Women don't have what it takes"

Be You

The only person you were meant to be is yourself, unless yourself is an other person.

Love and Inspiration

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong.

Grow Old

I'm very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. 'Don't complain about growing old - many, many people do not have that privilege.'

Invention

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness -- to save oneself trouble.

Motivation

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.

Someday

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
