There are more fakers in business than in jail.

When the joy of the job's gone, when it's no fun trying anymore, quit before you're fired.

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.

Enlightening editorial writers is even more difficult than educating educators.

A winner must first know what losing's like.

Making mistakes is human ... repeating 'em is too.

People who can’t see without glasses should wear them.
