We are highly susceptible to self destruction when we aren’t doing what we really want with our lives.

Ultimately though, we are not responsible for another's happiness. The unhappy person almost always suffers from self-inflicted pain.

If you don't know how to take care of your own needs, when you try to give to others, you are giving from a bankrupt account.

I don’t argue

Life is but an empty dream

I almost gave my life long ago for a thingThat has gone to dust now, stinging my eyes—It is strange how often a heart must be brokenBefore the years can make it wise.

Is that actually you or am I dreaming again?

Consider this point. It is a main point of true wisdom. Whenever there is an execution of purpose, there must be an agent.

The trouble, in my opinion, with corporate America today, is that everything is thought of in quarters.

The Niobe of nations! there she stands.

Undressing her was an act of recklessness, a kind of vandalism, like releasing a zoo full of animals, or blowing up a dam.

We weep and laugh, as we see others do.
