• Life is seldom fair, and it seems fair even less so.

• Grace is getting what you don't deserve.  Mercy is not getting what you do deserve.

• If you make a woman cry, you have lost.

• You can find out if a wound has healed by its response when provoked.

• The strangest quality of being young is that most of the people who will be at my funeral have not been born yet.

• One of the most foolish things we can do is place our happiness on anything in the future.
