Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Our lives teach us who we are.

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.

May you live all the days of your life.

It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people's lives.

I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.

But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

I cannot live without books.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
