They used to give us a day-it was called International Women's Day. In 1975 they gave us a year, the
Year of the Woman. Then from 1975 to 1985 they gave us a decade, the Decade of the Woman. I said at the
time, who knows, if we behave they may let us into the whole thing. Well, we didn't behave and here we are.

When I first became a lawyer, only 2% of the bar was women. People would always think I was a
secretary. In those days, professional women in the business world wore hats. So I started wearing hats.

popularity of a day, which perishes with the transient topic upon which it is grounded.

If your goal is to lose 10 pounds, you may wake up each day with failure in mind because the goal is hard to reach, and you
are progressing only by small amounts. It takes up all your willpower. I recommend that instead of a goal, you have a system.

Stages
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.

With a new baby, you have a bad day now and again because you're particularly tired, but most of the time, you're fine. You spend a lot of your time
trying to figure out how you can get more sleep, but really, you're better off just giving up and admitting that you're not going to, so forget about it.
Deirdre O'Kane
I wore a padded bra every single day and night from the age of 14 until I was 31. Giving up padding was my

Sara Pascoe
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
Edgar Allan Poe
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream ...
All that you see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe
The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don't have food for the day, suffer from the worst disease: globalization deficiency. The way globalization is
occurring could be much better, but the worst thing is not being part of it. For those people, we need to support good civil societies and governments.
Hans Rosling
You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, You know what? I'm giving up, I don't
care.
And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.
Nicole Scherzinger
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
