It is typical of women to fester and ferment over disappointments, slights, annoyances, angers, etc.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

You have to define success in your own way. What maintains your dignity and integrity and what is your life's plan; where do you want to put your efforts? I could be richer and more famous, but I would have to give up things that are of infinitely more value.

The meaning of your life comes through your obligations to others.

Because it's possible to do, and you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

You've touched people and known it. You've touched people and never may know it. Either way, you have something to give. It is in giving to one another that each of our lives becomes meaningful.

When you're the victim of the behavior, it's black and white; when you're the perpetrator, there are a million shades of gray.
