Favour Quotes

So long as fortune is favouring you, your defects will remain covered.

Ali bin Abu-Talib

My fame had become annoying for my enemies, and a little trying, I confess, for my friends. But at that time all this stir and noise amused me vastly. I did nothing to attract attention. My somewhat fantastic tastes, my paleness and thinness, my peculiar way of dressing, my scorn of fashion, my general freedom in all respects, made me a being quite apart from all others.

Surrounded by a court of adorers of both sexes, I lived in a sunny dream.

Sarah Bernhardt

Henry Wheeler Shaw
