My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.

Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.
