Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.

There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.

If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.

Maturity: Be able to stick with a job until it is finished. Be able to bear an injustice without having to get even. Be able to carry money without spending it. Do your duty without being supervised.

Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.

Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.

People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.
