Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody.

Half our mistakes in life arise from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.

If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find.

There is often less danger in the things we fear than in the things we desire.

Always mistrust a subordinate who never finds fault with his superior.

The secret of success in life is known only by those who have not succeeded.

A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy.

Never claim as a right what you can ask as a favor.

Envy and fear are the only passions to which no pleasure is attached.

If we escape punishment for our vices, why should we complain if we are not rewarded for our virtues?

...and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth.

You do not need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends you can be certain of

Run your purpose on the toes of your feet before people can type your success stories with the fingers of their hands.

I'm all about your mindset, being focused, staying positive, being optimistic, and knowing that these are all aspects of my life that I love and enjoy.

I love the power women have. I think women rule the world because they rule men. Manipulating men - that's our job. That's what we're on the planet for.

You win by working hard, making tough decisions and building coalitions.

Take your hurt feelings and channel them into political activism.

We create our own worlds. We destroy our own worlds. It is that simple.

Love is easy, and I love writing.
