The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library, The medicines of the soul.

Saints and martyrs had never interested Maggie so much as sages and poets.

George Eliot

I think there are a lot of people who really want to be famous, they really do. I don't. It sort of gets in the way of the everyday things that I do.

Johnny Mathis

My whole damn family was nice. I don't think I've imagined it. It's true. Maybe it has to do with being brought up as Christian Scientists. Half of my relatives were Readers or Practitioners in the church.

Henry Fonda

Thomas Fuller

What you are or where you came from is not important. It is who you are and the choices you make, that determine who you will become. If you can look inward and be satisfied, the opinions of others should melt away.
