My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive;... - Maya Angelou

"If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?"

"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."

"First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love."

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."
