SophieIt is true that neither the ancient wisdoms nor the modern sciences are complete in themselves. They do not stand alone. They call for one another. Wisdom without science is unable to penetrate the full sapiential meaning of the created and the material cosmos.

Thomas MertonFor me professionally as well I've built an incredible business that I'm very proud of that is my own brand and that is both creating incredible content to empower and inspire this next generation of working women through a digital platform, mainly through my website, ivankatrump.com, our email newsletters, and our social-media platforms.
Ivanka TrumpI know Stephen King is uncompromising on the idea that writers should practise their craft every single day, and it clearly works for him.

We must treat each other with dignity. Not because we merit it but because we grow best in thoughtfulness.
