God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book. You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
