“The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.” ― Mary Pickford “Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.” ― Mary Pickford

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life.

Nonsense is not tolerated round the stage. ~ Mary Pickford. It’s not the falling down that counts. It’s the getting up. ~ Mary Pickford. When I was just a child, I was forced to live far beyond my years; now I have reversed the order and I intend to remain young indefinitely. ~ Mary Pickford.
