Awareness without action is worthless.

You would worry less about what people think, if you knew how little they did.

I think you’re running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, ‘Brace yourself honey, here I come!’

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Life is a full-contact sport, and there’s a score up on the board.

You either get it or you don’t. Become one of those who get it.

Foolproof systems don’t take into account the ingenuity of fools.

It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.

We have enough in our country to let us deep into the springs of human life if we only cherished what we have.

We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.

Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

I find that when you have a real interest in life and a curious life, that sleep is not the most important thing.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

We confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no large ones.

Some days, your perfume falls from your skin and settles in the staircase. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stopped on the fourth step and felt all the ways I’ve fallen in love with you.

Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

And of all the things I look forward to in life, falling in love with you is at the top of the list.

If the world comes to an end, I want to be in Cincinnati. Everything comes there ten years later.
