Believe me, my children have more stamina than a power station.

The person who comes up to you and makes the most noise and is the most intrusive is invariably the person in the room who has no respect for you at all, and it's really all about them.

Joy blooms where minds and hearts are open.

Everyone at every minute of his life must feel something. Only the dead have no sensations.

We are only flesh and blood. We are only chemicals mixing and circuits firing, sometimes in disarray. We are, every last one of us, plagued by useless want.

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

We are wise women, we are giggling girls. We both carry a smile to show when we're pleased, we both carry a switchblade in our sleeves.

Only mediocre ideas can be tested.

I appreciate and love women for many reasons, tall and small, plump and skinny, and crazy and demure. I see beauty in all of them.

The greatest gift you can give someone is your personal development.

The Ordinary Life: the misery seems planned, the happiness accidental.
