“What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice…”
“Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.”

“I always knew this day would come We’d be standing one by one With our future in our hands So many dreams, so many plans…”
“In the end, girls’ schools should not be judged by the absence of boys, but rather by the presence - the self-assurance, poise, and derring do - of the girls themselves.”
“Crafting a plan is easy. Taking action will always prove to be the more difficult path.”
