If you are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life, your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.

George Bernard Shaw

Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces: for every woman who is not absolutely ugly, thinks herself handsome.

Lord Chesterfield

Truth is the safest lie.
