Mary Tyler Moore

"You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you."

"There are certain things about me that I will never tell to anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I'm independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I'm positive, I'm disciplined, I like my life in order, and I'm neat as a pin."

"I've always been independent. I've always had courage. But I didn't always own my diabetes."

"Take chances make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave."

"I feel about my dogs now, and all the dogs I had prior to this, the way I feel about children—they are that important to me. When I have lost a dog I have gone into a mourning period that lasted for months."

"Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave."

"You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you."
