There is tremendous trauma in the betrayal caused by a perpetual liar as they repeatedly commit psychological abuse.

Actively repeating a lie or denial does not make it true.

Extra-marital affairs become things of legend… and often the undoing of legends… and mere mortals.

Cheating is pure hypocrisy. Our partner deserves better than that. If we don’t love someone, we should not be with them. That would also be hypocrisy.

Screaming and repeating lies makes them neither true nor more believable.

Direct lies, small lies, huge lies, and lies of omission… these are all self-serving and sources of self-destruction.

When we make the decisions to be and stay in love, we should also make a decision and commitment to be supportive.

It was stupidity that forced us to discard anything that did not conform with ourself - reflective expectations.

I am to hip-hop what Obama is to politics

I have been governor every now and then, but I am a forester all the time.

Clarity is the most important thing to me - in thinking - and so I try in the books to be as clear as possible.

Why are people so interested in other people's relationships? It's like stealing.

Time isn't the enemy. Fear of change is. Accept that nothing lasts forever and you'll start to appreciate the advantages of whatever age you are now.
