A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water.Happiness is not a goal… it’s a by-product of a life well lived.Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness you are able to give.Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun.Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.When you have decided what you believe, what you feel must be done, have the courage to stand alone and be counted.A stumbling-block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.
