If you believe the doctors, nothing is wholesome; if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent; if you believe the military, nothing is safe.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Everything important always begins from something trivial.

All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.

You must learn day by day, year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

Make it your habit not to be critical about small things.

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

Thinking of it now, I didn't do a thing for my wedding. I was sleepwalking through it at all.

I know for me comfort is key; at my wedding I want to have fun, I want to dance, I want to not feel like my dress is restricting me from anything, so something definitely more streamlined.

I've always wanted to get married and have a family, but I'm not the girl who sat down and planned out her wedding, her dress, or how everything would go with the proposal.

For me, the only thing that mattered was getting married in the presence of my family and very close friends. We did not want a big fat wedding.
