You've got to understand life, understand it when you're young.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

The only joy in the world is to begin.

Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic.

We do not free ourselves from something by avoiding it, but only by living though it.

Lessons are not given, they are taken.

The only joy in the world is to begin. It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment.

We never remember days, only moments.

I just had the idea that all the covergirls should be gorgeous, and not just interesting, not beautiful in an offbeat or exotic way, just plain yummy gorgeous.

Be careful. Wait out your year. Come home.

You cannot become a power in your community nor achieve enduring success in any worthy undertaking until you become big enough to blame yourself for your own mistakes and reverses.

If you accept excuses from others, it's usually because you have accepted your own excuse.
