I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

I've been lucky. Opportunities don't often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

And...I think that's what life is all about, actually,about children and flowers.

It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don't want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn't it?

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
