When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else.

Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

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

Each child belongs to all of us and they will bring us a tomorrow in direct relation to the responsibility we have shown to them.

I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.

I think that each of us is so much alike, and yet at the same time we are so different, and I have a feeling that if you encountered difficulty, and I with my age encountered the same difficulty, I would respond one way, and you would respond another. Neither would be right or wrong. It's just that each of us is courageous, and that's what I encourage, courage, and the courage to see, and the courage to say to oneself what one has seen. Don't be in denial.

The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.
