I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways. - Lucille Ball

I have a theory about the assists we get in life. Only rarely can we repay those people who helped us, but we can pass that help along to others.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimisim a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

"Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work - and realizing what opportunity is and what isn’t." — Lucille Ball
