It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.

Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage mean we face our fears. We are able to say, 'I have fallen, but I will get up.'

If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.

The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas. The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising. Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.

We are growing up. We are growing up! Out of the idiocies - the ignorances of racism and sexism and ageism and all those ignorances.

At 50, I began to know who I was. It was like waking up to myself.

Life is a gift, and i try to respond with grace and courtesy.
