“True happiness...is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.”
Helen Keller
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
“Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere man”
Edgar Allan Poe
“London is full of women who trust their husbands. One can always recognize them. They look so thoroughly unhappy.”
Oscar Wilde
“People who love only once in their lives are. . . shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.”
“They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.”
