One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

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

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.

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.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.

Well begun is half done.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.

I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

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

Nothing is more capable of troubling our reason, and consuming our health, than secret notions of jealousy in solitude.

A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.
