I have become a pupil of the AA movement rather than the teacher.

Nothing matters more to AA's future welfare than the manner in which we use the colossus of modern communication. Used unselfishly and well, it can produce results surpassing our present imagination.

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves would restore us to sanity.

Years ago I used to commiserate with all people who suffered. Now I commiserate only with those who suffer in ignorance, who do not understand the purpose and ultimate utility of pain

Indecision with the passing of time becomes decision.

Honesty with ourselves & others gets us sober, but it is tolerance that keeps us that way.

The good is the enemy of the best.
