“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
Anne Frank, writer
“If you are committed to creating value and if you aren’t afraid of hard
times; obstacles become utterly unimportant. A nuisance perhaps; but
with no real power. The world respects creation; people will get out of
your way.”
Candice Carpenter, founder of iVillage.com
"I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them. I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations….I have built my own factory on my own ground.”
