The key to happiness - as any good fairy godmother will tell you - is not to avoid problems, but to overcome them.

I bet you Cinderella didn't get along with Prince Charming's friends. Oh sure, the knights and barons probably put up with her on account that she was pretty and had such dainty feet and all, but you should know every duchess and contess in the kingdom hated her guts.

Guys can smell desperation. It triggers an instinct in them to run far and fast so they aren't around when a woman starts peeling apart her heart.

People weren't firecrackers who burst into the night sky with brilliance and glory, and a moment later faded away to nothing. Our souls had to be more lasting than that.

Beauty has a persuasive power all its own.

Happy is entirely up to you and always has been.

I don't care what you Yanks say, cheese should not whiz.
