Prosperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great.

My father was a great innovator in public life, but when it came to raising his daughters, no one could have been more conservative.

No one will ever feel sorry for me.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.

Money is never to be squandered or spent ostentatiously. Some of the greatest people in history have lived lives of the greatest simplicity. Remember it's the you inside that counts.

Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety.
