At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that "I am rising for the work of man."

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

In terms of a character, I would love to play a fairy. I think that would be really fun.

Farewell my friends, I go to glory.

I was the first actress who branded her own line at a time when everyone just lent their name to a product. Everyone said I shouldnt do it, but it was probably the best thing Ive ever done.

I love to hold people's hands when I visit hospitals, even though they are shocked because they haven't experienced anything like it before, but to me it is a normal thing to do.

When you work for the thing you believe in You're rich though the whole way is rough- But work that is simply for money Will never quite pay you enough.
