To me who dreamed so much as a child, who made a dreamworld in which I was the heroine of an unending story, the lives of people around me continued to have a certain storybook quality. I learned something which has stood me in good stead many times - The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.

We cannot exist as a little island of well-being in a world where two-thirds of the people go to bed hungry every night.

Most of the work that's done in the world gets done by people who weren't feeling all that well at the time that they did it.

All the water in the world cannot drown you unless it gets inside of you.

Obedience may have its uses, but it is no substitute for willing, uncoerced co-operation.

I have often thought that less is expected of the president of a great corporation than of an American wife.

There is nothing to fear except fear it's self.
