Hi guys, hope you are all ok.

This is my first post here. I love reading the quotes on this forum, and was wondering if anyone could come up with a quote that shows that being a quiet decent girl (dosent smoke, flirt with men, get drunk etc) is not a bad thing, rather then being a loud flirtatious girl, etc. I am sorry if this sounds a bit complicated, but I am sure i have heard one somewhere includes lots of methaphors.


Thank you! xxx

I'll have a think but just wanted to say good luck. I'm sure you'll get a good one.

Have you not got anything yourself, maybe something we could work around, a rough idea?

Well, I'm still trying to come up with a suitable one - not finding it all that easy.

Aww thank you all ever so much xxx

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
~George Jean Nathan

I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people, you can set your watch by them. And that's love, even if it doesn't seem very exciting.

Women have sent me everything, from pictures of themselves nude to their actual underwear. What really impressed me, got to me, was when a woman sent me flowers.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as elaborate hairstyles, gold jewelery and fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
~1 Peter 3:3-4


I hope these help. There are a lot of quotes about how it's a good thing in general to be a quiet, decent person, but I didn't include the ones that weren't romantic. (That is what you were looking for, right?)If you'd like to see them, let me know and I'll post some.

Hi Rala,


Thank you so much, those were really great.

Well I was just looking for some in general, so if you wouldn't mind posting them, id be very grateful.


Once again, many thanks for your help!

It is better to rise from life as from a banquet – neither thirsty nor drunken.

To endure is greater than to dare. To tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained – who can say this is not greatness?

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control.
~Samuel Smiles

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
