By the time we've made it, we've had it.

Re raising kids: Love, without discipline, isn't.

Real writers-that is, capital W Writers-rarely make much money. Their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... Commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than Writers. The letters I personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. I always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that I couldn't have written them myself.

There are more fakers in business than in jail.

Money isn't everything as long as you have enough.

People who never get carried away should be.

It's great to arrive, but the trip's most always most of the fun.
