When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.

I've been married three times -- and each time I married the right person.

Margaret Mead

My life changed the day I moved beyond just wishing for things and I started earning them. That is the day I learned that we don't get what we wish for, we get what we work for.

Steve Maraboli

A fretful temper will divide the closest knot that may be tied, by ceaseless sharp corrosion; a temper passionate and fierce may suddenly your joys disperse at one immense explosion.

William Cowper

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

Richard Bach

But there are too many people that make so much money at the cost of lives of other humans and for no reason but to make the money.

Lily Tomlin

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

Wayne Dyer

Millions of couples out there practiced the art of sadomasochism every day, without even realizing it. They went to work, came back, complained about everything, insulted their wife or were insulted by her, felt wretched, but were, nonetheless, tightly bound to their own unhappiness, not realizing that all it would take was a single gesture, a final goodbye, to free them from that oppression.

Paulo Coelho

I have absurdly vivid dreams.

Erin Morgenstern

I believe a man is born first unto himself --for the happy developing of himself, while the world is a nursery, and the pretty things are to be snatched for, and pleasant things tasted; some people seem to exist thus right to the end. But most are born again on entering manhood; then they are born to humanity, to a consciousness of all the laughing, and the never-ceasing murmur of pain and sorrow that comes from the terrible multitudes of brothers.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down.

Wilson Mizner

Nothing releases like forgive. Nothing renews like forget.

Ray Davis

Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us. The most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.

Andre Maurois
