I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

If you learn something new every day, you can teach something new every day

Gardening is a humbling experience.

I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing.

The homes I like the best are totally occupied, busy, and useful, whether it's a tiny little house or a great big one. Rarely do you find a great big house that's used in a good way. So I prefer smaller spaces that are full of books, full of things that people are doing.

I believe in a man and a woman being equal. I really believe that we can do anything we set our minds to.

As with all my new pets, I gently bit each kitten on the face. This is how I let my animals know that I am now their mother.
