Life is a curriculum unique to every student.

It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.

Wish for the happiness of your enemies, for if they are happy, they are your enemy no more.

Our enemies are our greatest teachers.

You have got to be loyal to people beneath you.

When we lose our myths we lose our place in the universe.

I can manage the regret, if not my own finances.

Everything, in the end, comes down to timing. One second, one minute, one hour could make all the difference.

It may be important to write a book that doesn't come up to what I would like to have rather than to write no book at all.
