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

I cannot go to bed tonight without a word to you.

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say yes.

It’s your life-but only if you make it so.

When you stop learning you stop living in any vital and meaningful sense.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge

Do one thing every day that scares you.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Effort: You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.

Don’t be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you.

If you fail the first time then you’ll just have to try harder the second time.

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.
