About Me

My Favorite Quotes:
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge
For the resolute and determined,
there is time and opportunity.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
...but for those I love, nothing and no one, neither I nor certainly they themselves, can ever make me stop loving them.
- Albert Camus
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred : Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God: It was never between you and them anyway.
- Mother Teresa, compiled by Lucinda Vardey
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
- Thomas Alva Edison
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate;
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be?"
Brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world...
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you...
We were born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
Not just in some of us, in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
- Nelson Mandela
Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone...just as wild...to run with.
- Carrie Bradshaw
So, OK, like right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all "What about the strain on our resources?" But it's like, when I had this garden party for my father's birthday right? I said R.S.V.P. because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that like, did not R.S.V.P. so I was like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings, but by the end of the day it was like, the more the merrier! And so, if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty?
-Cher from Clueless
Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.
- Mother Theresa
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
- Mahatma Gandhi
more than a pretty face
more than a world traveler
more than a fashionista
more than a bachelor's
a master's
a doctorate
more than a heartbreaker
more than a glass-ceiling breaker
more than a household
more than the one in the little black dress
more than 'til death do us part
more than the one that got away
-Marie Claire Magazine
I'm sorry, do you have some prior commitment - some hideous skirt convention you have to go to?
- Emily from The Devil Wears Prada.
