We have reached a point today where labor-saving devices are good only when they do not throw the worker out of his job.
You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself.
It’s your life-but only if you make it so.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.
Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.
You should always own a black dress because no one ever remembers a black dress.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
There are no have-to’s, just choices.
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual; it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.
I could never be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together, and if we are to live together we have to talk.
Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?
I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.
Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
