The outside belongs to others. Only you should decide for you - WHAT is perfect.”

“The mere habit of learning to love is the thing; and a teachableness of disposition in a young lady is a great blessing”

“To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don't wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.”
