"Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is. "

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well. "

"Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. "

"Success produces success, just as money produces money. "

"There are well-dressed foolish ideas just as there are well-dressed fools. "
