Virginity is such a personal thing. You can't judge anyone on it. A lot of young women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they'll love forever.

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

Love comes when manipulation stops when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you've become a comfortable, trusted element in another person's life.

The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.

A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.

The best proof of love is trust.
