"One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore faith in yourself."

" I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't."

" The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."

" I'd rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not."

" In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by."
