Quote by Catherine de Medici

"The future is made of the same stuff as the present."

"A woman who cannot rule herself cannot rule others."

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will."

"When one's expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have."

"I believe in working hard for what you want."

"Never underestimate the power of determination."

"I don't need a reason to fight."

"The most important thing is the mission. Nothing else matters."
