If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.

Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.

I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success, to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career.

There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard.

We invest less in our friendships and expect more of friends than any other relationship. We spend days working out where to book for a romantic dinner, weeks wondering how to celebrate a partner or parent's birthday, and seconds forgetting a friend's important anniversary.

My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

We are twice armed if we fight with faith.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red spotlight... The truly wise person is color-blind.

If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.

There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.
