“Don’t let your past keep you away from your greatness today. Regret only lives in the mind. Release it all because you are renewed every second.”

Don’t let others box you into their idea of what they think you should be.

Don’t fall on their level. Be better.

The heart never forgets what makes it happy. Happiness helps the wounds heal into scars.

Fight hard the battle of life and take the challenges with courage, determination, and perseverance.

Our perception is the lens we see the world through.

No one stays forever. Just learn to be happy alone.

The idea of feeling great at all times is purely fictional for a simple reason: we get bored of the same things, same feelings, same environments pretty quickly. If everything was always nice and great, you’d get depressed.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

Life is just another beast you were meant to tame, and there is no one better for the job, other than you.

Never outsource your happiness to someone else. Derive it from within by enjoying your own company.

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m Not hurt.

If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.

If everything is perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

Forgiveness is almost the hardest thing that you could ever do.

Have a sense of humor to break the tension in times of great toil.

Every great thing requires a great sacrifice.

I’ve got great people who handle my schedule, and everything does revolve around the children. If there’s a parents’ night or an Easter bonnet parade or a Nativity play, whatever it might be, then I plan everything around that.

The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably thought and act.

There’s no greater challenge and there is no greater honor than to be in public service.

As we’ve focused more on our food and where it comes from, people now have greater awareness of what’s being put onto our food, pesticides, labeling issues, and consumer health.

As secretary of state it’s been an enormous honor to represent this great country that I love so much – I have really seen that our great strengths are in the ability of people to reach their potential here.

The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete, and everything after you bears your mark.
