“If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed but that my eyes be opened wider.”

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.”

“I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.”
