How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself?

Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

What does not destroy me, makes me strong.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
