The voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, and act and speak as if cheerfulness wee already there. To feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end, and courage will very likely replace fear. If we act as if from some better feeling, the bad feeling soon folds its tent like an Arab and silently steals away

William Shakespeare

Jane Austen

Sir Walter Scott

It is easy to take liberty for granted when you have never had it taken from you.

M. Grundler

Bertrand Russell

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.

Martin Luther

Rose Kennedy

J.K. Rowling

Familiar acts are beautiful through love.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
