The bottom line is that you only have the rights you fight for.

Everyone is going to binge on a diet, for instance, so plan for it, schedule it, and contain the damage.

I gauge success in years, not weeks. The weekend box-office approach to book launches is short sighted and encourages crappy books.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of mental laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

A person's success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.

Slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less; it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.

The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is boredom.
