There is never an embarrassing silence that can't be turned into a regrettable conversation.

In a houseful of toddlers and pets, you can start out having a bad day, but you keep getting detoured.

There is no tomorrow. There is only a planet turning on its axis, and a creature given to optimistic fancies.

There are subjects in which I wish to become knowledgeable, and subjects in which I wish to remain wise.

Be the master of your fate, be the captain of your soul, but do not hesitate, should the chance befall you, to be the slave of your heart.

The great enemy of achievement is a schedule already full.

In a soulmate we find not company but a completed solitude.
