A coward turns away but a brave man's choice is danger.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!

Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.

Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.

Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house.

The stars will live for me, if not anything else

The right man won't care

At least have the decency in you / To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out / In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter

One does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived.

Between the covers, a book can be a sin.

I think the main thing is to find something you care about. A cause. I think it starts with others. Who do you look up to? Who do you want to help? Start in your own community.

We got nominated for a Grammy, that was really crazy, and I was sitting there and Stevie Wonder was on stage and I remember thinking "Wow, I really need to take [singing] more seriously!"

I was bookish and dorky in high school, so the best part of this movie was getting to be on the other side.

To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.
