Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I've just finished reading a book about the brilliant Margaret Rutherford. She wasn't a beauty, but inside she was absolutely blazing and passionate about her work. She's one of those life-affirming characters.
