Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

Genuine love is volitional rather than emotional.

If you are determined not to risk pain, then you must do without many things: having children, getting married, the ecstasy of sex, the hope of ambition, friendship-all that makes life alive, meaningful and significant.

Emotional sickness is avoiding reality at any cost. Emotional health is facing reality at any cost.

The problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other. Yet we tend to wed with explicit visions of what a “good” marriage ought to be like. Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.

Love is too large, too deep ever to be truly understood or measured or limited within the framework of words.

Ultimately love is everything.
