Maya AngelouIf you wished to be loved, love.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaThere is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

Clint EastwoodAll women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.

Samuel JohnsonI’ve never had a divorce, but I’ve seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can’t write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I’m able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly PartonComplaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.
Joyce MeyerI am an introvert; privately I am very shy, and I don’t speak unless I have to.
Greta ThunbergOne of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

Jesus ChristA remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.
Will RogersIt is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves.

Marilyn MonroeBoth times I was in India, I could not get people to listen to each other. I had to literally tell people to listen to each other and tell them that they can’t get creative and find alternate solutions if they don’t listen to each other. There’s a lot of arguing and justifying.
Stephen CoveyIrrespective of age, we mourn for those loved and lost. Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love.

Noam ChomskyLet there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
Khalil GibranThinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
PlatoShe’s been married so many times she has rice marks on her face.

Madeleine AlbrightI suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mahatma GandhiMy friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.
Steven WrightIs it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything – to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby?
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIf you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt.
