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

People who care about each other enjoy doing things for one another. They don't consider it servitude.

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

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

The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet.

Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other.

The Lord gave us two ends - one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.

Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
