“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”

Be proud, you survived the days you thought you couldn’t.

“They are not your friend unless they have defended you in your absence.”

Take care of your mind, your body will thank you. Take care of your body, your mind will thank you.

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”

Don’t mistake silence for weakness. Smart people don’t plan big moves out loud.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

“Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones.”

To the world, you are a mother, to your family you are the world.

“War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.

It hurts when you go through something that kills you inside but you have to act like it doesn’t affect you.
