“My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy.

I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself.” ~Noel Coward

“There are dark times just around the corner. There are dark clouds travelling through the sky. And it's no good whining about a silver lining. For we know from experience they won't roll by.” ~Noel Coward

“Work hard, do the best you can, don't ever lose faith in yourself and take no notice of what other people say about you.”  ~Noel Coward

“Work is more fun than fun.”  ~Noel Coward
