inspirational levels dignity
Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.
love life relationship
You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.
happiness effort enormous
No effort is required to define or even attain happiness, but enormous concentration is needed to abandon everything else.
love funny sex
For flavor, instant sex will never supersede the stuff you have to peel and cook.
funny life way
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
clothes soul body
Our clothes are too much a part of us for most of us ever to be entirely indifferent to their condition: it is as though the fabric were indeed a natural extension of the body, or even of the soul.

The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy; they want to be right.

It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.
opportunity blessing past
To live in the past is to miss today's opportunities and tomorrow's blessings.
inspirational running years
It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style.
curiosity individuality neighbor
The curiosity of the neighbors about you, is a tribute to your individuality, and you should encourage it
relationship marriage successful
The formula for achieving a successful relationship is simple: you should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.
funny sarcastic men
However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.
sex women sassy
Men get laid, but women get screwed.
