You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.

It's a good idea always to do something relaxing prior to making an important decision in your life.

I am who I was and who I will be.

Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.

Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.

I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return, Of giving, when I have nothing, Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.

What hurts us is what heals us.
