You
(page 12)
Your sweetheart calls you by another's name. His eyes linger too long on your best friend. He talks with excitement about a girl at work. And the fire catches. Jealousy — that sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation — can overtake your mind and threaten your very core as you contemplate your rival.
If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.
If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.
When you're green, your growing. When you're ripe, you rot.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.
Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.
It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.
I think when we wake up in the morning, we can choose between fear and love. Every morning. And every morning, if you choose one, that doesn't define you until the end... The way you end your story is important. It's important that we choose love over fear, because love is the answer.
Life is short and you've got to get the most out of it.
As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.
Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair'.
You sparkle with larceny.
You've got to tell your money what to do or it will leave.
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.
There was no precedent. If I asked somebody, 'What do you expect me to do?' they all looked blank. They had no idea; nobody had much idea.
