Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.

Manners are like the shadows of virtues, they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect.

Sydney Smith

The first series I wrote, 'L.A. Candy,' was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done.

Lauren Conrad

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

Aristotle

All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.

Evelyn Underhill

Money is good, love is wealth.

Doug Horton

When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up-it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.

Kirstie Alley

The distinction between pretending you are better than you are and beginning to be better in reality is finer than moral sleuth hounds conceive.

C.S. Lewis

It is not in the power of even the most crafty dissimulation to conceal love long, where it really is, nor to counterfeit it long where it is not.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

My valor is certainly going, it is sneaking off! I feel it oozing out as it were, at the palms of my hands!

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence; hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition

Victor Hugo

Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

Mark Twain
