I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.

When you do laugh, open your mouth wide enough for the noise to get out without squealing, throw your head back as though you were going to be shaved, hold on to your false hair with both hands and then laugh till your soul gets thoroughly rested.

It's not only the most difficult thing to know one's self, but the most inconvenient.

Taking from others never results in prosperity. If we steal from others, life will steal from us. There is an incredible abundance on this planet. True prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself and about the choices you make. Life is here for us. Life is here to support us in every way. We give out, we get back. Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.

I have never known a person to live to be one hundred and be remarkable for anything else.

Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.

The books are balanced in heaven, not here.
