Love must be the first thought and the last thought of the day, if you wish to live in peace and happiness.

It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.

Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it.

A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.

You cannot grow unless you are willing to change. You will never improve yourself if you cling to what used to be.

One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well being of the people in your life.

Listen to your own voice, your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves.

It all begins with you. If you do not take care of yourself, you will not be strong enough to take care of anything in life.

All things pass and pain is temporary. It comes to teach a lesson and when the lesson is understood it disappears into the night.

The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still, when silence speaks loudest.

The day you stop worrying will be the first day of your new life; anxiety takes you in circles, trust in yourself and become free.

I have had quite an interesting life. My husband was quite successful in the movies, and we went out frequently with Gloria Swanson and other stars.

I switch between fixed forms and free verse often, and enjoy being a poet who can "swing both ways," so to speak.

Every time I catch myself saying, "Oh no, you shouldn't try that," I think, "Yes, I should."

You have to be eligible for luck to strike, and I think that's a matter of education and preparation, and character and all the other solid attributes that sometimes people laugh at.

God of wilderness, God of wildness, lead me to the quiet places of my soul. In stillness, in openness, may I find my strength.

That was one of the key things - when you asked the story about the writing of the story - one of the things we wanted to make sure was that it grew out of.

..if the beginning of the thought or theory is not rooted in reality, the end or the final results of such a thought or theory could well be disastrous in practice.

One cannot look at the sea without wishing for the wings of a swallow.

You cannot improve your future if you are not willing to try something new and risk making mistakes and learning from them

Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.
