More quotes by Marie Corelli

Marie Corelli
Greatness is always envied - it is only mediocrity that can boast of a host of friends.
Marie Corelli
Education! Is it education to teach the young that their chances of happiness depend on being richer than their neighbors? Yet that is what it all tends to. Get on! - be successful!
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
I attribute my good fortune to the simple fact that I have always tried to write straight from my own heart to the hearts of others.
Marie Corelli
