Life is a lease and God is the landlord.
This is probably the advantage of being stupid. Stupid people just do. We tend to overthink. If we could eliminate the “over” and just think, then we could do, too. Only we’d be smarter doers because we’d be thinkers.
I think the only answer is to live life to the fullest while you can and collect memories like fools collect money. Because in the end, that’s all you have – happy memories.
As my mother says, your forties are when you finally pay for your past mistakes, the cigarettes and sunburns, the Big Macs and smooth-talking men. She may be right.
Coeur qui soupire n’a pas ce qu’il desire. The heart that sighs does not have what it desires.
If it’s true love, then it will abide. If it was a fleeting crush, then it will turn to dust. Either way, the truth will out.
Sometimes if you wait too long, it’s too late.

Love doesn’t go anywhere when you die, you know. The person passes on, the body withers, but love, it survives.
We may not get what we want, when we want. But with a bit of perseverance and a lot of patience, we can get what we need.
The imagination is a wonderful thing; it allows for all manner of undiscoverable sins.
See that’s what people don’t get about food. It’s never the food, it’s the love that goes into making it. That’s what’s important.
The power of women united, I am again reminded, is an invincible thing.
In fact, a case could be made that worrying about a problem actually prevents you from resolving it, because it deceives your mind into thinking that you’re doing something when really you’re not.
