There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

The more time you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes.

Do I think all contemporary Christian music is good? No.

But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.

Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.

If I had my life to live over again, I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more, I'd talk more to children, and I'd learn how they laugh.

Every bird that flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw.

Death is Perfection's reflection. One cannot be the other, but without one, the other suffers.

My morning routine is quite common: I have breakfast at home while reading the newspaper, I take a shower, get dressed, a spray of cologne, and I am ready to go!
