|  We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing. | | Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won. | | People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays; men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world. | | You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty. | | Housekeeping ain't no joke. | | I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. | | Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable. | | Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success. Topics: Age, Life | | Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. |
