Bad decisions make good stories.

Speeches, like babies, are easy to conceive but hard to deliver.

The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches but to reveal theirs.

Life is a cup to be filled, not drained.

-- anonymous old woman in Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.
