There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.

Charles Dickens

I guess I was a mom so late in life, my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Candice Bergen

Theodore Roosevelt

Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.

Edward Hennessy

If we don't empower ourselves with knowledge, then we're gonna be led down a garden path.

Fran Drescher

Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw.

Junius

Accio Brain!

J.K. Rowling

Once women begin to question the inevitability of their subordination and to reject the conventions formerly associated with it, they can no longer retreat to the safety of those conventions. The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the clich? that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.

Christopher Lasch

Let us not deceive ourselves we must elect world peace or world destruction.

Bernard Baruch

Habits are the daughters of action, but then they nurse their mother, and produce daughters after her image, but far more beautiful and prosperous.

Jeremy Taylor

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Booker T. Washington
