Women are made to be loved, not understood.

Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.

Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.

Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

Logically, harmony must come from the heart… Harmony very much based on trust. As soon as use force, creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.

He who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

It’s not a slam at you when people are rude, it’s a slam at the people they’ve met before.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

Of course you can’t ‚trust‘ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‚trust‘ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do.

Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.

So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together, but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.

There’s only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I’ll get married again.

Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.

In my house I’m the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past – I want it to be in the future.

The people you choose to have around you make all the difference. My family and close friends keep me grounded. You have to have a mind of your own and a strong head on your shoulders. Cricket is the most important thing to me, so the rest of it pales in comparison.

When things haven’t gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.
