The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

Love, real love, is not simply a state of bliss. It is an ever-changing state, the result of time and emotional development, of trust and commitment.

Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.

The best of all possible marriages is a seesaw in which first one, then the other partner is dominant.

They say that money is not everything. I say that when you don't have any, it is everything.

When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.
