I don’t write this letter to put bitterness into your heart, but to pluck it out of mine. For my own sake I must forgive you.

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much.

It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.

Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

TALENT will go so far...but your GIFT will make room for you!!!

I make an active effort to remain a positive role model to kids. They need people to show them there's another way.

I have said it often and I will say it again: I believe you learn to read when you are young, then read to learn for the rest of your life.

People who love only once in their lives are shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom, or their lack of imagination

I think women can cope a lot better than men.
