I'm thankful for every moment.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

When people get married young, you don't really understand the true definition of marriage.

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space.

More men die of jealousy than of cancer.

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

Anniversaries are like birthdays: occasions to celebrate and to think ahead, usually among friends with whom one shares not only the past but also the future.

Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Ring out the false, ring in the true.
