Success is the child of audacity.

For unflagging interest and enjoyment a household of children if things go reasonably well certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.

After I won the Oscar my salary doubled my friends tripled my children became more popular at school my butcher made a pass at me and my maid hit me up for a raise.

Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed pay the price and it is yours.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'

They say everything you go through in your childhood builds character and inner strength.

Difficulty my brethren is the nurse of greatness - a harsh nurse who roughly rocks her foster - children into strength and athletic proportion.

I like writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my books for them I try to put this right.

We get strength and encouragement from watching children.

It requires more strength to be gentle so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.
