My father was very big on marriage.

I cannot be understood in three minutes.

I know how easy it is for one to stay well within moral, ethical, and legal bounds through the skillful use of words - and to thereby spin, sidestep, circumvent, or bend a truth completely out of shape. To that extent, we are all liars on numerous occasions.

You don't have to become something that you aren't to become better than you are.

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain.

I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.

I find myself, at this time in my life, no less challenged, no less plagued, no less intrigued by what I still don't know.
