The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There’s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent’s voice to resonate in the children’s ears.

When you have the right script for your life, you will always be the star of the show.

Why do so many marriages fail? Because nobody gets taught how to be married. We’re not taught how to pick a mate, or why to pick a mate; we don’t know how to manage our emotions once we’re in a marriage; we don’t know how to resolve marital conflict. Married people have never been taught why they or their spouses feel the way they do and act the way they do. Nobody has ever taught us the fundamentals.

Anyone can do something when they want to do it. Really successful people do things when they don’t want to do it.

Failure is no accident.

People are used to being coddled.

There are no limitations to any of our dreams.

If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.

The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes… men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do!

I don’t write letters anymore.

Worry is the most wasteful thing in the world.

This is not new territory. Stop lights like lullabies write my eulogy.

Scream in silence. Dance in stillness.

Every one knows that insufficient rest and gorging are not good for anyone, either physically or mentally.

The sense of injustice, more than the unjust condition itself, is what wears on men’s minds.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.

Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

Wear the old coat and buy the new book.

Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.
