It may look perfect, but that's one thing I have learned about life is that it isn't always what it looks.
By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it.
Joseph Collins
My mother is an amazing woman. Not only did she manage the entire household, she noticed a gift in each of her kids and instilled confidence in all of us that that gift would take us wherever we wanted to go.
Barbara Corcoran
Do not trust people. They are capable of greatness.
Stanislaw Lem
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
Andre Maurois
If you don't care, your customer never will.
Marlene Blaszczyk
When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.
Jimmy Breslin
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change.
Katherine Mansfield
When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went directly to a shop where they sold toys for children; and, being charmed with the sound of a whistle, that I met by the way in the hands of another boy, I voluntarily offered and gave all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers, and sisters, and cousins, understanding the bargain I had made, told me I had given four times as much for it as it was worth; put me in mind what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money; and laughed at me so much for my folly, that I cried with vexation; and the reflection gave me more chagrin than the whistle gave me pleasure. This however was afterwards of use to me, the impression continuing on my mind; so that often, when I was tempted to buy some unnecessary thing, I said to myself, Dont give too much for the whistle; and I saved my money.
Benjamin Franklin
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Lady R. Russell
Never deprive someone of hope it might be all they have.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
