No partnership matters more. The relationship with the one you marry provides 90 percent of your happiness and 90 percent of your misery.

Don't judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try.

Remember, a good marriage is like a campfire. Both grow cold if left unattended.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.

Don't do business with anyone who has a history of suing people.

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something. People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim.
