I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

Edward Hoagland

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Dale Carnegie

In my own time there have been inventions of this sort, transparent windows tubes for diffusing warmth equally through all parts of a building short-hand, which has been carried to such a perfection that a writer can keep pace with the most rapid speaker. But the inventing of such things is drudgery for the lowest slaves; philosophy lies deeper. It is not her office to teach men how to use their hands. The object of her lessons is to form the soul.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.

Helen Keller

Home life, as we understand it is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo.

George Bernard Shaw, from the 19

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

There are no exceptions to the rule that everybody likes to be an exception to the rule.
