“Everyone has their strengths; we just need to find them and embrace them.” ~ First Term at Malory Towers
“The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping-stones. Laugh at them, tread on them, and let them lead you to something better.” ~ Enid Blyton
“I wonder where you got that idea from? I mean, the idea that it’s feeble to change your mind once it’s made up. That’s a wrong idea, you know.

Only the strongest people have the pluck to change their minds, and say so, if they see they have been wrong in their ideas.” ~ The Naughtiest Girl in School
