- It’s helpful to imagine your relationship with him or her as a business relationship rather than a personal one. Just as you wouldn’t share that you’re feeling fat, ugly, and depressed with a client or tell her that you’ve just met the love of your life and you’ve never been happier, these thoughts and feelings should be kept to yourself and not shared with your ex. Finally, as in any good business relationship, be honest and prepared to deliver what you promise.

- When children feel they have to earn our love by what they accomplish, they never feel good about themselves, no matter how much they do, no matter what their age. Indeed, some adults work outrageous hours, make huge salaries, and always strive to accomplish more and yet are never satisfied, no matter what they have achieved. This is because they were never given the free, unconditional love of their parents, the love that is every child’s birthright.

- Joss Whedon, Entertainment Weekly, 08-30-13
- I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future.
- Dan Quayle (1947 - )
- Just as you began to feel that you could make good use of time, there was no time left to you.
- Lisa Alther
- None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license.

- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
- The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.
- Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952)

"Careful with words" is ten times doubly so. - William Carleton
