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."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
