“Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.”

Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.

After you’ve work hard to get what you want, take the time to enjoy it.

Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.

People who accomplish big things did small things well.

Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.

Get your priorities straight. No one ever said on his death bed, ‘Gee, if I’d only spent more time at the office.’

Don’t flaunt your success, but don’t apologize for it either.

Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery.

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.

Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.

Strive for excellence, not perfection.

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass

Watch for big problems. They disguise big opportunities.

If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

Losing doesn’t make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that’s partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.

I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

The amazing thing about love and attention and encouragement and grace and success and joy is that these things are infinite. We get a new supply every single morning, and so we can give it away all day. We never, ever have to monitor the supply of others or grab or hoard.
