Be confident, not certain

Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.

I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

I wish I really knew what the Republican foreign policy has been. I don't. I am a Democrat, and I really don't know what it has been.

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

the term 'young adults' which is so often used today seems to me a misnomer, and one which, if taken seriously, may lead the adolescent into misunderstanding as to his nature and his role in life. 'Young" he is; 'adult' he is not.
