Because of their age-long training in human relations - for that is what feminine intuition really is - women have a special contribution to make to any group enterprise.
Margaret Mead
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not and never persist in trying to set people right  - Hannah Whithall Smith
May my heart be blameless toward your decrees that I may not be put to shame
Psalm 119:80
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
It does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
I Corinthians 13:4,5
Life is to be lived - not just passed through.
Taking joy in life is a woman's best cosmetic.
Rosalind Russell
Me, I want passion, something wild, not perfection's high gloss. Screw good taste, just drop your shirt and show me your scars

Donald Newlove in First Paragraphs
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

Mark Twain
Those who serve a cause are not those who love that cause. They are those who love the life which has to be led in order to serve it, except in the case of the very purest, and they are rare.

Simone Weil
Never attempt to bear more than one kind of trouble at once.
Some people bear three kinds:
all they have had,
all they have now,
and all they expect to have.

Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909)
Refrain from asking what is going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.

Horace
Life is so constructed that the event
does not, cannot, will not,
match the expectation.

Charlotte Bronte
I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.  I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

Milton Berle

A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless.
All a woman has to do is put you on hold.

Marlo Thomas
Beauty Tips
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
he beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing
years-only grows!

by Audrey Hepburn
The perfect problem statement is brief, clear, precise, accurate, descriptive, complete, defensible, workable, and no more than 25 words (if possible).
Fairy tales don't teach children that monsters exist. Children already know that monsters exist. Fairy tales teach children that monsters can be killed.

- G. K. Chesterton
He that is good with a hammer tends to think everything is a nail

- Abraham Maslow
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because thre is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; whoat the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
From all this we may learn that there are two races of men in this world but only these two. The race of the decent man and the race of the indecent man. Both are found everywhere, they penetrate into all groups of society. No group consists entirely of decent or indecent people.

- Victor Frankl
Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental prnciple of morality, namely, that good consistes of maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil.

- Albert Schweitzer, Civilization and Ethics, 1949
"One of the things young people always ask me about is what is the secret to success," he says. "The secret is there is no secret. It's the basics. Blocking and tackling. And more important than that, find something you love. Something that gets you so excited you can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy. that takes a certain amount of boldness to say, 'This is what I like.'

"The money thing will come," he say. "I know so many people who have so much more money than I. They are miserable. It is so important to be happy."
- Christopher Gardner quoted in USA Today 2006-05-22
