Nothing is secret once you tell anyone. If you want to keep it quiet - don't tell a soul.

I suppose everyone tells little white lies. Quite often they're necessary to make someone feel better or prevent feelings from being hurt. Whoppers? No, that's dangerous and they'll boomerang.

I consider myself a religious person. God is something very personal with me and I don't flaunt religion in conversation with others.

Over a long period of time, living as if you were someone else is no fun.

The bible divides mankind, god will decide our fate.

Nothing is more annoying than a tardy friend. [Lat., Tardo amico nihil est quidquam iniquius.]

Do you think it is only a little thing to possess a house from which lovely things can be seen?
