The lips of the wise are as the doors of a cabinet; no sooner are they opened, but treasures are poured out before thee.

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.

A contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.

Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.

Know thyself as the pride of His creation, the link uniting divinity and matter; behold a part of God Himself within thee; remember thine own dignity nor dare descend to evil or meanness.

Thinking, understanding, reasoning, willing, call not these Soul They are its actions, but they are not its essence.

Contemplate thy powers, contemplate thy wants and thy connections; so shalt thou discover the duties of life, and be directed in all thy ways.

When you are risen on the eastern horizon You have filled every land with your beauty... Though you are far away, your rays are on Earth.

Without a purpose nothing should be done.

I was raised mostly by my mom.

The strongest knowledge (that of the total freedom of the human will) is nonetheless the poorest in successes: for it always has the strongest opponent, human vanity.

We can be civil. We can still be friends, and be Democrats and Republicans, and have different views.

I love the fashion world. I love clothes. I love style.

I used to write as an escape. There's no escape. There's just me sending my voice into the dark, waiting for an echo.

I'm not the type who spends his free time in training camp playing with his Playstation or playing cards on trips. The other players thought it was odd: There he is, reading again.

People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl.

Events tend to recur in cycles.
