Adulthood
We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice -- that is, until we have stopped saying "It got lost," and say, "I lost it."
Forgiveness
A winner rebukes and forgives; a loser is too timid to rebuke and too petty to forgive
Life and Living
When I hear somebody sigh that "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"
Relaxation
The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
Tolerance
Intolerance is the most socially acceptable form of egotism, for it permits us to assume superiority without personal boasting.
