“Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.”

“You may be a princess or the richest woman in the world, but you cannot be more than a lady.”

“There is nothing one can do to delay the inevitable, and so it's best just to stand tall.”

“Follow the Light!”

“General [De Gaulle], you must not hate your friends more than you hate your enemies”

“If you cannot read all your books...fondle them---peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them, at any rate, be your acquaintances.”

“Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes you must do what is required.”
