“Be confident, not certain”

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Don’t call a woman a bitch. Call her an ass-hole. It still gets your point across and it’s not sexist.

We are the sum total of all the choices we have made.

Courage is exhilarating.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, It can’t be done.

Understanding is a two-way street.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure.

A great deal of fear is a result of just not knowing.

We do not have to become heroes overnight.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.

The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why.

We obtain our education at home, at school, and, most important, from life itself.

The only thing more contagious than a good attitude is a bad one.

Don’t lower your standards for anything or anyone.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.

Whatever it is, I’m against it.

It’s your thinking that decides whether you’re going to succeed or fail.

I want to do something different, really different, and if it alienates people that’s too bad.

Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

A real girl isn’t perfect and a perfect girl isn’t real.
