You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Actors are one family over the entire world.

Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

I do not think that I am a natural born mother... If I ever wanted to mother anyone, it was my father.

Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.
