Blessed with so many resources within myself the world was not necessary to me. I could do very well without it.

Of all the many people we meet in a lifetime,it is strange that so many of us find ourselves in thrall to one particular person. Once that face is seen,an involuntary heartache sets in for which there is no cure. All the wonder of this world finds shape in that one person and thereafter there is no reprieve, because this kind of love does not end,or not until death.

Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.

C. Wright Mills

The kindness and affection from the public have carried me through some of the most difficult periods, and always your love and affection have eased the journey.

Princess of Wales Diana

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

Sydney J. Harris

A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.
