Life Lessons Quote by Judge Judy Sheindlin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Have a profession, a vocation, your own source of money. It's your security, girls. Nobody can take it away. It sets you free emotionally.”

“Technology is developing so rapidly that none of us can afford to get set in our ways. Instead of hoping that your world won’t budge, stay alert to the new possibilities that are emerging.”

“Woe be the one who hasn’t made it by age thirty. There is something ludicrous about setting the bar for making it at thirty when the average life expectancy is seventy-four. The truth is that each of us has the capacity, if we so desire, to follow different paths at different points in our lives - to put an end to one pursuit and begin another. When you understand that, you’ll see that there is no such thing as failure.”

“… As women get older, they become more powerful, more lucid, more sure of what they want. And that can be very challenging for a man.”

“If a woman has an education and a skill, she has guaranteed divorce insurance for her lifetime … What is divorce insurance? It’s an education, a skill, a profession, an ability to take care of yourself, come what may … The only insurance protection you have is financial independence.”

“No matter how much time passes, some memories stay alive not loudly, but quietly, hidden between our smiles and our tears. They visit in silence, in the middle of the night, when the world is asleep but the heart is awake. I know our memories will never truly leave me; they will walk with me through every phase of life, not as pain anymore, but as a reminder of what love once felt like, and of what will never return the same way again. Some connections end, but the feelings they create… they stay, living softly inside us forever.”

“You will have to self-reflect and work on areas where you can excel in order to attain success.”

“It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.”

“Keep pushing until you succeed. When you succeed, you will be glad you did not give up on your dreams.”

“The people you are closest to tend to be able to hurt you the most - that is why heartbreak is so hard to deal with, why death is so painful, and why fights can destroy things that matter.”
