This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt

Of all the various kinds of sexual intercourse, this has the least to recommend it. As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it. It is unsuited to the drawing room, and in the most cultured society it has long been banished from the social board. It has at last, in our day of progress and improvement, been degraded to brotherhood with flatulence.

A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.

All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.

I have had young fascinations but never love.

I don’t think members of the royal family sign prenuptial agreements

Good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt.
