Joseph Conrad
Plato quote: "But of the heaven which is above the heavens, what earthly..."

If you have a story that seems worth telling, and you think you can tell it worthily, then the thing for you to do is to tell it, regardless of whether it has to do with sex, sailors or mounted policemen. Dashiell Hammett
There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life. Henry David Thoreau
English girls' schools today providing the higher education are, so far as my knowledge goes, worthily representative of that astonishing rise in the intellectual standards of women which has taken place in the last half-century. Mary A. Ward
Fanny Burney quote: "To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to..."
To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to dispense them worthily, must surely be more beneficial to mankind. Fanny Burney
