Life is lived forwards but understood backwards.

Nothing is more unjust or capricious than public opinion.

A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.

We are all of us, more or less, the slaves of opinion.

Time,--the most independent of all things.

Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.

To be a woman is something so strange, so confusing and so complicated that only a woman could put up with it.

I'm so misunderstood that people misunderstand me even when I tell them I'm misunderstood.

The future is everything that past has forgotten.

Wherever there is a crowd there is untruth.

Without risk, there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith.

The thing that cowardice fears most is decision

The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have.

It is not where we breathe, but where we Love, that we live.

Face the facts of being what you are, for that, is what changes what you are.

The question is not "To be or not to be," it is what we should be until we are not.

Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
