"Life's not about expecting, hoping and wishing...." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“We all create the person we become by our choices as we go through life. In a real sense, by the time we are adults, we are the sum total of the choices we have made.”

“When you look fear in the face, you are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'”

“experience should teach us that it is always the unexpected that does occur.”

“Every life viewed from the inside is a series of defeats.”

“Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.”

“Strange, what being forced to slow down could do to a person.”

“People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.”

“Do what you fear and your fear will die.”

“The best way to succeed in this world is to act on the advice you give to others.”
