No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

Exuberance is beauty.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
