My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Don't use men to get what you want in life. Get it yourself.

If you do the best you can, no matter how bad the situation, you probably are going to come out okay.

The happiest people I know are not those who are the most beautiful, rich or famous. The happiest people I see are simply those who stay cheerful and try to cheer up others while getting through their own bad stuff

Work with the raw material you have, namely you, and never let up.
