Don't get so involved in the duties of your life and your children that you forget the pleasure. Remember why you had children.

A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.

A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.

Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.

Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first.

The single and most dangerous word to be spoken in business is no. The second most dangerous word is yes. It is possible to avoid saying either.

All friends are not for life, but if you have a true friend, you have a life.

Men are taught to apologise for their weaknesses, women for their strengths.

Did I choose you? Did you choose me? And what difference does it make? All that really matters, friend, is that we chose together.

I can do anything I want. Be with anyone I want. And it'll be my choice.

I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed.

It's only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front.

You can be special without being extraordinary.

Happy in all that ragged, loose collapse of water, the fountain, its effortless descent and flatteries of spray.

How can I go out there and create value?

I am not afraid of a fight; I have to do my duty, come what may.

Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
