If at first you don't succeed, sure, try again... but if you keep not succeeding, you should probably concentrate on something (or someone) else worthwhile & quit wasting your time.

Never play the Devil's Advocate. Your words could be the difference between success and failure in someone else.

I was thinking about picking up kayaking, but I didn't want anyone to think I had herpes.

I used to dream of a week-long beach vacation with white sand under my toes... right now, I'd settle for 48 hours at a Motel 6 with some Lysol and a UV lamp.

I think we, sometimes, try to fill a void with so many other things that we make the wound deeper & prevent it from ever healing properly.

Your past doesn't define you. Only your present and your future. If your life is screwed up, stop making excuses. What are you going to do about it today?

If it isn't going to matter to you in 5 years, quit stressing about it. (Also, quit b*tching about it. It might matter when you're all alone in 5 yrs because you're annoying now.)

It's nice to feel needed... it's better to feel wanted.

As a kid, I dreamed of a knight in shining armor coming to rescue me. Now, I just dream of equal pay for equal work.

I'll say it again, for every moment you're with the wrong person, you are robbing yourself and the right person of the opportunity to find real happiness.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and if you screw that up, you can start again tomorrow.

He accomplished wonders of diplomacy on the principle, never give way, and never give offense.

Virtue became less the harsh and martial self-sacrifice of antiquity and more the modern willingness to get along with others for the sake of peace and prosperity.

You regard it as impossible that a sinner should be struck down by the wrath of God! I do not!

It is not easy to determine the nature of music, or why any one should have a knowledge of it.

I try to be known more for my work than for anything else.

Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone.

You live your life and it ends quite quickly and all you can do with it is pass it on decently to someone else. Whether directly or indirectly, behave decently to other people.

You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.

There are no signposts in the sea.

A bearer of news of death appears to himself as very important. His feeling - even against all reason - makes him a messenger from the realm of the dead.
