You can have your titular recognition. I'll take the money and the power.
trying adrenal-glands good-marriage
Trying to describe a good marriage is like trying to describe your adrenal glands. You know they're in there functioning but you don't really understand how they work.

some bosses are so greedy (for themselves only) they forget underlings are not thirteenth-century peasants who can be satisfied with a glass of mead and three festivals a year.

I think I'm a fairly average person, I think I have only a medium IQ. I didn't go to college, obviously.

Feed the alligators and you get bigger alligators.
brain looks next
Charm is the next best asset after looks and brains - and can almost make up for looks.
important looks body
Good posture is the one most important thing anybody can do now to look better.
friendship life-changing mean
People's lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes -- pretty soon your closet is so jammed and everything so crushed you can't find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you; bless the years and happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to have the guilts if new people mean more to you now.

Never expect anybody - except possibly your analyst - to be as thrilled about your sex life as you are.
nice people full-potential
I've just been so lucky. I don't know if you're really able to take advantage of your full potential until you're older. There are a few people who are incredibly gifted and make it when they are very young, but I didn't. With women it takes longer. You just keep working and when you finally get it, it feels very, very nice.
