 An apt quotation is like a picture; it can speak better than a thousand words. And in your heart you will realise that there is no getting away from the truth they hold in them.
It's Grandma's profound wisdom that makes her choose these quotes that will remain relevant decade after decade. A free race cannot be born of slave mothers. An apt quote about the importance of women's emancipation. We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are. The truth about every human being. The way we always were and probably will always be.
I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it. A touch of humour is always necessary especially when the truth is difficult to accept.
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn. Hope is what makes life worth living. It shouldn't be replaced by inattentive routine.
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all. Never be afraid to be creative, and don't live in fear of failure.
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work. No matter how creative you are diligence is all-important.
Life is "Trying things to see if they work". Don't be afraid to try new things. That's what science is all about.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. The basic foundation of marriage or any relationship is friendship.
Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction. The need to communicate with children on their level is what parenting is all about.
Life is the only real counsellor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue. Life is the best teacher. True wisdom and learning comes through experience.
