“I like adventures, and I’m going to find some.”

The mere possession of a gun is, in itself, an urge to kill, not only by design, but by accident, by madness, by fright, by bravado.

I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us.

Where I wholly love I wholly trust.

Help one another is part of the religion of our sisterhood.

I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I’m not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.

Prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.

Remember that frost comes latest to those that bloom the highest.

Better lose your life than your soul.

Fame is a pearl many dive for and only a few bring up. Even when they do, it is not perfect, and they sigh for more, and lose better things in struggling for them.

The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them.

I ask not for any crown But that which all may win; Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within.

Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.

Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us – and those around us – more effectively. Look for the learning.

It takes two flints to make a fire.

I often think flowers are the angels’ alphabet whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious and beautiful lessons for us to feel and learn.

Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

To live would be an awfully big adventure.

I used to think, ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

I’m shy, but when the time comes to be wild, I’m fun-loving, adventurous, and mysterious.

Having the courage to stand up and pursue your dreams will give you life’s greatest reward and life’s greatest adventure.

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.
