I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Faith is a free gift of God, not something to be compelled.

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

Your ability to stay focused and persevere through challenges is a testament to your determination and resilience on the path to success.
