"Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties."
"It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say."
"On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it."
"As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more."
"An optimist is a driver who thinks that empty space at the curb won't have a hydrant beside it."
