Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
Never listen to girls on how to get girls. If you’re trying to catch fish you don’t ask another fish. You ask the Fisherman.
Throughout my life, the message and teachings of Christ have been my guide and in them I find hope. It is my heartfelt prayer that you will continue to be sustained by your faith in times of trial and encouraged by hope in times of despair.
Of course, I have nothing against the language changing, but there must be reasonableness in it, so that it does not become a mere gas can. On the other hand, new words are sometimes added that I wouldn’t do without – for example, “smug”. It’s my new favorite word. It’s a wonderfully oily word, a precise word that covers a certain type of person with a high degree of self-confidence in their own abilities.
I’ve never given myself a lot of credit because of my relationship with Ike. I was just happy when I started to like myself – when I got divorced and took control of my life.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
If you have to improvise, you have to be well prepared.
Everything sounds deep when you don’t read books.
Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out but knowledge stays.
No matter how many grains of gold I serve you, you keep eating oatmeal, and I can’t become my problem.
Til we meet again, may God bless you. Adios.
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.
If you can not join them, beat them.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to subside. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
Our modern world places such heavy demands on our time and attention that the need to remember our responsibilities to others is greater than ever.
I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.
If it’s dancing, or anything else in life my darling, that matters to you, then don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
There’s one thing worse than being boring. It is to be immoral
I’m attracted to myths.
I am self-created. I always wanted to make myself a better person because I wasn’t educated. But that was my dream – to have class.
I was raised in a free and liberal home. I have never felt threatened by other cultures, other colors or other ways of thinking. In 30 years, there will be more and more colors in the minds of the people who walk around our streets. And we want to move around a lot more ourselves. It is also necessary that we open up if we are to remain strong at that time.
I am a bourgeois, but I am not a Left-woman. I was born a bourgeois, and I have always tried not to stand on a pedestal and say that I am a worker. That would be false talk. Nor during the many years when the red hirelings were around and held their noses at the thought of “Matador” and everything else I did. I’m not a peasant either. I was born a bourgeois, but that is why I can criticise the bourgeoisie and their shabby schemes, which I can easily see through.
Suicide is never the answer. You must outlive your enemies.
We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
