Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.

Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn't interest you, don't do it - I would have made a terrible mother.

I think the reason that very few people really fall in love with anyone is that they're not willing to pay the price.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

If it interests you, they don't have to pay you. It's a fascinating business anyway-it's very nice to be paid-but when you do thrilling material, it's like buying a piece of furniture that's really good.

I remember as a child going around with "Votes For Women" balloons. I learnt early what it is to be snubbed for a good cause.
