There is no good in store so long as malice and jealousy and egotism will prevail.

It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

Be strong! Don't talk of ghosts and devils.

We can form no idea of the millions of pounds that are spent every year in the making of dress in the West. The dress-making business has become a regular science. What colour of dress will suit with the complexion of the girl and the colour of her hair, what special feature of her body should be disguised, and what displayed to the best advantage-these and many other like important points, the dressmakers have seriously to consider. Again, the dress that ladies of very high position wear, others have to wear also, otherwise they lose their caste! This is FASHION.

Business is business, that is, you must do everything promptly; delay and shuffling won't do.
