Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

The trouble with lies was that once started, the fiction had to be continued, and it was hard always to be remembering details that you had made up upon the spur of the moment.: Elizabeth Aston, The True Darcy Spirit, 2006
You would not think that birds who have no brain at all could become so friendly. I swear some of them are more intelligent than many humans, but that says more about our fellow beings than it does about the birds.: Elizabeth Aston, The Second Mrs. Darcy, 2007
The first rule of life is to reveal nothing, to be exceptionally cautious in what you say, in whatever company you may find yourself. If you have a secret, you have only to whisper it to your dearest friend with the strictest injunction that it will go no further, and within half a day the story is all over town, and when you do make what would seem to be a perfectly sensible remark, you will find it reported in the most grotesque form, thus incurring no end of criticism to rebound upon you.: Elizabeth Aston, The Darcy Connection, 2008

One's life is not as fixed as one believes. Surprises may lie in store for you, the unexpected often tends to happen, sometimes bringing in its train the most delightful change in one's life or circumstances.: Elizabeth Aston, The Darcy Connection, 2008
Charm and nothing but charm at last grows a little tiresome. It's a relief then to deal with a man who isn't quite so delightful but a little more sincere.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Painted Veil, 1925
Content makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.: Unknown
- More quotations on: [Thoughts] [Destiny]
The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings… As the shadow follows the body, As we think, so we become.: Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), Dhammapada
The refreshing pleasure from the first view of nature, after the pain of illness, and the confinement of a sick-chamber, is above the conceptions, as well as the descriptions, of those in health.: Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
- More quotations on: [Nature] [Health]
The world ridicules a passion which it seldom feels; its scenes, and its interests, distract the mind, deprave the taste, corrupt the heart, and love cannot exist in a heart that has lost the meek dignity of innocence.: Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
