As a property developer, I learned a long time ago to choose your battles wisely and that, unfortunately, compromise is a given.
You have to be careful to react when you start to deviate from your course.
Whatever the device you use for getting your information out, it should be the same information.
To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.
In the past, you'd have one magazine, it would arrive monthly, and that was your magazine. You'd devour it; you'd absorb all the knowledge in it; you'd read it over and over again.
Changing a diaper is a lot like getting a present from your grandmother - you're not sure what you've got but you're pretty sure you're not going to like it.
Narcissism is a fact of life - it's a natural part of growing older, right? It's a part of your development. So being angry about the younger generation being 'narcissistic,' that's like saying 'Oh, this young generation only wants to poop in their diaper! They don't want to use the bathroom!'
Everything TSA does is reactionary - first they ban the box cutters, then of course you have to take your shoes off, then you have to take the liquids out, now we have to be patted down in our private areas because of the diaper bomber.
To describe something as being black and white means it is clearly defined. Yet when your ethnicity is black and white, the dichotomy is not that clear. In fact, it creates a grey area.
The soul is a very perfect judge of her own motions, if your mind doesn't dictate to her.
Once you publish a book, it is out of your control. You cannot dictate how people read it.
Oh! do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
We've got a dictatorial president and a Justice Department that does not want Congress involved. Your guy's acting like he's king. His dad was at a 90 percent approval rating and he lost! And the same thing can happen to him!
The world is full of little dictators trying to run your life.
I think your conversations are indicative of your tastes - even your diction.
Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
High-quality food is better for your health.
Excess dietary salt is most notorious for increasing blood pressure. Americans have a 90 percent lifetime probability of developing high blood pressure - so even if your blood pressure is normal now, if you continue to eat the typical American diet, you will be at risk.
Dietary fiber provides a whole slew of health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. It not only promotes 'regularity,' it also reduces your risk of several chronic diseases and plays a crucial role in successful weight loss.
