Anything you lose automatically doubles in value.

Your children tell you casually years later what it would have killed you with worry to know at the time.

Women usually love what they buy, yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets.

Failure can get to be a rather comfortable old friend.

I'm afraid to win, and afraid to lose; I hate a draw and can't stop competing; otherwise I'm fine.

In life, as in restaurants, we swallow a lot of indigestible stuff just because it comes with the dinner.

Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once you start to doubt, there is no room for anything else.
