Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you think you can do it, you can.
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.
