Hope does not take away your problems. It can lift you above them.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.

Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.

The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees.

Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.
