The secret of making something work in your lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work: then the faith and belief that it can work: then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one thought of doubt or disbelief.

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.

William Ernest Henley

Whether women are better than men I cannot say, but I can say they are certainly no worse.

Golda Meir

All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.

Aristotle

We are such spendthrifts with our lives. The trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I
