The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.

Taste has no system and no proofs.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you're lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love.

No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.

Imagination is the only key to the future. Without it none exists -- with it all things are possible.

Aging is not "lost youth" but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

The more articulate one is, the more dangerous words become.

Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind -- even if your voice shakes.

Take your work seriously, but never yourself.

You have to leave room in life to dream.

People say, "What is the sense of our small effort?" They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.

You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go.

Freedom is always freedom for the man who thinks differently.

Flops are a part of life's menu and I've never been a girl to miss out on any of the courses.

You just try to do everything that comes up. Get up an hour earlier, stay up an hour later, make the time. Then you look back and say, "Well, that was a neat piece of juggling there -- school, marriage, babies, career." The enthusiasms took me through the action, not the measuring of it or the reasonableness.

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything it is because we are dangerously near wanting nothing.
