Marie Corelli
It is not so difficult to win love as to keep it!
Marie Corelli
I must not say what I truly think, or you will tell me I flatter you-but I can only speak what I feel-and very often I cannot even do that when the feeling is very deep.
Marie Corelli
Patriotism is understood to be that virtue which consists in serving one's country but in what way is this 'Patria' or country served by slaying its able bodied men in thousands?
Marie Corelli
work is happiness. No one can take my work from me and therefore no one can take my happiness from me.
Marie Corelli
There is no Death,/What seems so is transition.
Marie Corelli
When one loves God better than the Church is one called a heretic?
Marie Corelli
You should always be well and bright, for so you do your best work and you have so much beautiful work to do. The world needs it, and you must give it!
