Don't use men to get what you want in life. Get it yourself.

I think a single woman's biggest problem is coping with the people who are trying to marry her off!

some bosses are so greedy (for themselves only) they forget underlings are not thirteenth-century peasants who can be satisfied with a glass of mead and three festivals a year.

I think you keep two sets of books. In one set, you record the truth -- how well you are really doing. This is the secret set -- just for you and loved ones. In the other set are more modest entries and statements, and these are for public consumption!

We are told to value ourselves without feedback, but if nobody is making a pass at you or trying to take you to Bermuda, how are you supposed to feel? Confident?

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Get up and do it if it needs to be done, even if you hate it!
