From Within...

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Love seems...

Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

~Mark Twain

Judge myself..

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.

~Sally Field

In Fashion...

To be a fashionable woman is to know yourself, know what you represent, and know what works for you. To be "in fashion" could be a disaster on 90 percent of women. You are not a page out of Vogue.

~Author Unknown

It's not the answer....

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

Breaks the heart...

Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart.

~Phyllis McGinley, "Ballade of Lost Objects," 1954

~James Matthew Barrie, What Every Woman Knows, about charm
