If someone is mean to others, he will be mean to you.
You find out who truly cares about you when you become less useful and more inconvenient.
Your gut instinct is more reliable than you know.
How people behave around children says a lot about their character.
The best way to salvage a relationship is in person, not writing.
Ninety-nine percent of internet debate is a waste of time.
I am happier when I don't watch, read or listen to the news.
You can't make someone care about you.
God takes care of His children.
