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

There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.

Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of hurt, fear and frustration.

Coaching your wife is like trying to baptize a cat.

Most choices are driven by immediate results.

Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say

We live in an era of tremendous facts. And the facts are facts. They are also unpleasant facts, which does not decrease their factual percentage one bit. Our job is to understand them, to recognize their presence, to learn if we can what they signify and not to fall into the error of minimizing facts because they have a bitter flavor.

You are writing your children’s future with your answers.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

We teach people how to treat us.

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
