Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
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.
