Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

When you doubt, abstain.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Don’t gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

It’s better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.

People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy.

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
