If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I see a wiser person than when I was younger: having babies, and passing 30, were the turning points. What women in their 40s - I am 39 - lack in gorgeousness, they make up for in wisdom. I love ageing, despite the drawbacks - thinner, drier skin.
