Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.
The strongest possible piece of advice I would give any young woman is: Don't screw around, and don't smoke.
There is surely a piece of divinity in us, something that was before the elements, and owes no homage unto the sun.
You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.
It is not enough to aim; you must hit.
Write a wise saying and your name will live forever.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
