Women are not for using. Women are for loving.

That's the way it is with firstborns. Mom and Dad may think they're in charge, but the firstborn knows better, and so does the youngest sibling.

I believe that love takes time. I believe there is such a thing as infatuation at first sight, but not love at first sight.

Most arguments with teenagers are setups. Your darling, simply stated, is manipulating you.

Remember, you cannot be responsible for the happiness of other people. You can do your best to be sensitive to the needs and desires of others, but some people will not be happy no matter how much you do for them. If you decided you were responsible for their happiness, you could drive yourself completely up the nearest wall.

Love is a cognitive, willful act. Feelings have very little to do with it, particularly around three o'clock in the morning when the baby needs changing or somebody has "lost it" before getting to the bathroom to throw up.

Sex is all that it can and should be only when it is surrounded by and wrapped in love.
