Kate Smith

  • ... after several months of probation work, standing on my feet some ten to twelve hours a day, I decided that as a nurse I was a pretty good entertainer.

  • And when all is said and done, there is no greater success in the world than just being happy.

  • It has been said that genius is only the power of making continuous effort. The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it. We are told that there is no failure, except in no longer trying — no defeat, except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own weakness of purpose.

Kate Smith, U.S. singer

(1907 - 1986)

Full name: Kathryn Elizabeth Smith.
