Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible

Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of stupidity.

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough?

Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few!

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.

I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

In order to change the world, you have to get your head together first

If I speak of myself in different ways, that is because I look at myself in different ways.

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there...and still on your feet.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.

Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.

Better beggar woman and single than Queen and married.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.

Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness.
