Quotes by Augusta Reilly (?)

“You'll have to excuse Carolyn," she said. "She won the election by playing rock paper scissors and hasn't quite mastered the whole political charm thing yet.”
― Augusta Reilly, Why I Held Your Hand

“Acting outwardly strong produces actual inner strength. Putting on a brave face builds a strong heart. It’s the “soldiering through” that makes you a soldier. It’s like dressing for the job you want and not the job you have. Putting on a suit does more than just make you look like an executive—it makes you feel like one. And once you start feeling like one, you start thinking and behaving like one. It’s playacting, but it’s playing the part that turns you into a player.”
― Augusta Reilly, Words on Candy Hearts
