Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

There is one person who sends me three cards every year. One on New Year's, one for my birthday and the third that marks the anniversary of my flight into space.

Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.

The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.

I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.

Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.

It was a perfect marriage. She didn't want to and he couldn't.

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

Jealousy - that jumble of secret worship and ostensible aversion.

Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it.

The sun is new each day.

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.

Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and, especially, in investing.

If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Accept what people offer. Drink their milkshakes. Take their love.

In a way, fraud in business is no different from infidelity in marriage or plagiarism in scholarly work. Even people committed to high moral standards succumb.

A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
