I had my first baby at twenty-one.

Alice Munro Author

The constant happiness is curiosity.

Alice Munro Author

And now such a warm commotion, such busy love.

Alice Munro Author

Life would be grand if it weren't for the people.

Alice Munro Author

Enlightenment is not so much a hard-won achievement, much less a "creation," but instead is deep relaxation and recovery of our natural condition. You come to see the evolution of the soul, the soul's journey, as a realization of what has always been there in the first place.

Alex Grey Artist

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.

Elle Macpherson Businesswoman

I don't know all the reasons for these achievements, but I know that I love what I do and I have never wanted to rest on my laurels.

Ahmed H. Zewail Scientist

People who hold a low view of themselves [will credit] their achievements to external factors, rather than to their own capabilities.

Albert Bandura Psychologist

Just as Christ said: I am not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it, so Spiritism says: We have not come to destroy the Christian Law, but to carry it out... Spiritism has come at the predicted time to fulfill what Christ announced and to prepare for the achievement of future things. It is then, the work of Christ, Who, as He also announced, presides over the regeneration which is now taking place and which will prepare the reign of the Kingdom of God here on Earth.

Allan Kardec Educator

I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.
