Quote by Sergeant James

The older you get, the fewer things you really love.

The older you get, the fewer things you really love.

Summary

As we age, our capacity to truly love and be passionate about things naturally diminishes. This could be attributed to various factors, such as experiencing loss or disappointment over the years, developing a greater understanding of nuance and complexity, or simply realizing what truly matters. With maturity, we tend to prioritize and invest our emotional energy in fewer, more meaningful experiences, people, or activities, letting go of superficial attachments. This quote speaks to the process of growing older and the concomitant evolution of our love and attachment toward the world around us.

Everything has a spirit and it's all connected. If you think about that, if you live your life by it, then you're less likely to cause any hurt.

Or to bring it down to its simplest level: treat everything and everybody the way you want to be treated, because when you hurt someone, you're only hurting yourself.

The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.

I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age, they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls, so it wasn't a matter of them missing me. I was missing them.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.
