So, I went through life constantly practicing this model of disciplinary approach. Well, I can’t tell you what that’s done for me. It’s made life more fun. It’s made me more constructive. It’s made me more helpful to others. It’s made me enormously rich.
And what I noted, since the really big ideas carry 95 percent of the freight, it wasn’t at all that hard for me to pick up all the big ideas and all the big disciplines and make them a standard part of my mental routines. Once you have the ideas, of course, they are no good if you don’t practice. You don’t practice, you lose it.

图片Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror. The former forever snaps at our heels and delays our course. The latter can spur our boot heels to be wandering, stimulate our creativity and drive us forward.
Now some advantages particular to this age are not to be denied. Boredom seems to have been vanquished. There is always something to do, but hasn’t this translated into a perpetual distraction in our lives.
At seventy, I’m just getting started. Watch me.
I raised my kids to be independent—just like me.
I’ve had my best years after fifty. Age is just a number—it’s your attitude that counts.
Age is just a number. I’ve never let it define what I can or cannot do.
Women don’t need to wait for permission to live their lives. Make your own plan—for your career, your family, your happiness.
At twenty-one, I was a divorced single mother. At thirty, I was struggling to feed my children. At forty, I was starting over in a new country. At fifty, I was rebuilding my career. At sixty, I walked the runway at Fashion Week. Life begins at every age—if you dare to make a plan.
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.
I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one.
