In all my work, I try to say - 'You may be given a load of sour lemons, why not try to make a dozen lemon meringue pies?'

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I like to know what's happening.

The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.
