Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

People who don't know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried and not waste time about it.

There is no happiness outside of ourselves.

The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.
