One can never change the past, only the hold it has on you, and while nothing in your life is reversible, you can reverse it nevertheless.

It can be much harder to be on the receiving end of a transaction than to be the one who gets to give. In fact, being given to can mean being taken from. There is a very strong connection between pride and giving, and those who do the giving get to feel that they are worthy, while those who are given to often feel that they are not.

Cynicism is a form of cowardice, a failure of courage to hope.

You can tell a lot about what a man lacks by watching what he is cynical about, and many of us are cynical about love.

The day you spend hoping, the day you spend waiting, the day you spend in despair, is a day in your life as much as the tomorrow you hope for, but which may never come, so betting today on tomorrow is always a bad bet.

One can never change the past, only the hold it has on you.

The older I get, the clearer it becomes to me that no one is cheated in this world, unless it's by himself.
