Beauty will not come at the call of the legislature.... It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.

Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself, inside and out.

And the best way to know who we are is often to find out how others see us.

The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.

You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is.

Prostitutes dress obviously, so as to draw attention. It's their business, isn't it? The last thing that a Christian woman is thinking of is being like a prostitute.

What you think of me is none of my business. What is most important is what I think of myself.

Being beautiful is not so fun when you're in a business with all men.

It doesn't matter where you live...It doesn't matter how you live. It doesn't matter what car you drive. It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear.

It is true, as John Bunyan said, that God infinitely prefers a heart without words to words without a heart when we pray.

What we do is not as important as what we are. Our functionalistic modern society tends to reduce our being to our function. What is the first question we ask about someone? "What does he do?" But love never asks that question first. The first question for love is always "Who are you?" rather than "What do you do?" Being is prior to doing, and love's realism refuses to reverse that real order.

Your heart may be paltry compared with the heart of a great saint, but your heart is what God wants from you.
