Women, I believe, learn to think on their feet, to cope with change and survive.

One thing that never ceases to delight me about us women, is the friendship and support that we give each other.

Wisdom is partly innate and partly developed and practised. It's about a lot more than just knowledge: experience, involvement, communication, interaction with people. Wisdom is a way of being.

One of the most important thing in families, both for children and spouses, is never to close off possibilities - particularly never to make demands or threats.

It is very important that we look at what we CAN do, rather than what is impossible to do.

FIGHT FOR THE EARTH: The earth can't speak for itself, it will just slowly die if we don't fight for it.

Women's networks are a necessary part of life. A mixture of empathy and brainstorming can move mountains.

I don't think of compassion as sympathy but rather as empathy. An understanding of how people are feeling, which often translates into action.

The dialogue between women is a rich field, but change does not come without a lot of reading, asking, listening, risk-taking and hard work.

I have had the experience common to many women, of needing to define myself and to find my self-esteem as a person, not simply as somebody's wife or mother.

The Garden Was My Delight. I grew up with gardeners and I just love gardens. I was always very much aware that gardens were important and they were for sharing.

Don't walk behind me

Being Happy is not a blessing to everyone!! it's an attitude!!

There is only one way to degrade mankind permanently and that is to destroy language.

People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!

Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.

I'm disturbed when people let superstition, magical thinking, extreme conspiracy theories and so on blur their minds.

God to be God must rule the heart and transform it.

Gratitude: An imaginary emotion that rewards an imaginary behavior, altruism. Both imaginaries are false faces for selfishness, which is a real and honest emotion.

And right this second I want to live in ignorant bliss.

Make the doors upon a woman's wit, and it will out at the casement; shut that, and 'twill out at the key-hole; stop that, 'twill fly with the smoke out at the chimney.
