Only when you start being honest with yourself can you begin to be honest with those around you.

When I was a magazine editor for an international publishing company, one of our wide-eyed young interns earnestly asked me to sum up my life-philosophy in one phrase. She looked pretty crestfallen when I said "any port in a storm".

Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends on the thoughts of the mind.

Sometimes when you're angry you have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.

No matter how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take it's place.

A fine is tax you pay for doing wrong.  A tax is fine you pay for doing well.

Sometimes it isn't enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to be able to forgive yourself.

Once the "what" is decided, the "how" always follows. We must not make the "how" an excuse for not facing and accepting the "what".
