We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

There are many miracles in the world to be celebrated and, for me, garlic is the most deserving.

Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn and as such requires no more than to accept it.

We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.

We don't love to be loved in return; we love to love.
