"A good woman is a hidden treasure;..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Our good qualities expose us more to hatred and persecution than all the ill we do.”

“The defects of the mind, like those of the face, grow worse with age.”

“True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world.”

“A woman who cannot make her mistakes charming, is only a female.”

“I said, I'll put on weight. And I started having massages, taking cod-liver oil, and eating twice as much. But I didn't even gain an ounce. I'd made up my mind that on the day the engagement was announced I'd be fatter, and I didn't gain an ounce. Then I went to Mussoorie, which is a health resort, and I ignored the doctors' instructions; I invented my own regime and gained weight. Just the opposite of what I'd like now. Now I have the problem of keeping slim. Still I manage. I don't know if you realize I'm a determined woman.”

“It is the worst thing you can do, women, is whine, .. I mean the worst. Don't complain, protest.”

“If you want to feel good, you have to go out and do some good.”

“There is within human nature an amazing potential for goodness.”

“The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome.”
