I think she's American! I don't know too much about her either but you can read more about her on Wikipedia.

I think you are right.  I found that she is born in St-Louis, Missouri.  She wrote many quotes.  There is another one that I like too  -  A  constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find. Mary Engelbreit.

You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains.

You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.

You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows.

This is why I am afraid; You say that you love me too.

 

I saw this quote on Facebook today. This quotation is often said to be from Shakespeare but it was not written by him. I've no idea where it comes from - but it's a nice quote anyway!

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Pierre de Coubertin (a man credited with starting the modern Olympic Games)

That's a very nice quote. 'the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well' - it is very true.

It makes me remember an other quote. "Happiness is not a destination. It is the way of life".
