Growth is a painful process.

The secret of our success is that we never, never give up.

I've run into more discrimination as a woman than as an Indian.

Wilma Mankiller Сhief Of The Cherokee Nation

There are those who believe that the value of a children's book can be measured only in terms of the moral lessons it tries to impose or the perfect role models it offers. Personally, I happen to think that a book is of extraordinary value if it gives the reader nothing more than a smile or two. In fact, I happen to think that's huge.

Barbara Park Author

Be a wonderful role model because you will be the window through which many children will see their future.

Thomas Mckinnon Wood Secretary For Scotland

I would love a family. I'm at the age where the wish for a child gets stronger. But who knows.

Cameron Diaz Actress

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues, such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

Mary Wesley Novelist

Every man is responsible for defending every woman and every child. When the male no longer takes this role, when he no longer has the courage or feels the moral responsibility, then that society will no longer be a society where honor and virtue are esteemed. Laws and government cannot replace this personal caring and commitment. In the absence of the Warrior protector, the only way that a government can protect a society is to remove the freedom of the people. And the sons and daughters of lions become sheep.

James Williams Musician

Barbara [my wife] and I said a long time ago that if we were in a position to help somebody, it would be kids. So when we started the Memorial Tournament (in Columbus, OH), Nationwide Children's Hospital, which saved my daughter's life when she was less than a year old, was the beneficiary from day one.

Jack Nicklaus Golfer
