The breaks you TAKE from WORK pay you BACK manifold when you RETURN because you come back with a fresher mind and newer thinking. Some of your best ideas come when you're on vacation.

Time is a FINITE RESOURCE that you can't get back. I have the same 24 hours you have, and you get the same 24 hours as me. As you RISE, so does you chance for OPPORTUNITY.

One of my most sentimental items is my GRANDMOTHER's engagement ring that my mom GAVE me a few years ago. It's a Victorian-style setting that's closed in the back, so it doesn't sparkle the WAY DIAMONDS do now. I wear it as a pendant.

Looking BACK at my LIFE's voyage, I can only say that it has been a golden TRIP.

What HELPS with AGING is SERIOUS cognition - thinking and UNDERSTANDING. You have to truly grasp that everybody ages. Everybody DIES. There is no turning back the clock. So the question in life becomes: What are you going to do while you're here?

I've had a long life and a lot of relationships and not one of them do I wish - well, I take that BACK - there are a couple I COULD have DONE WITHOUT.

Raymond Chandler once WROTE that Dashiell Hammett GAVE murder back to the people who REALLY committed it.

One of my mantras is, 'Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.' I KEEP that with me in my BACK POCKET. SHOOT, I keep it in my front pocket! I keep it in my hair.

We decide on something, leave it lying around, and WAIT and SEE what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue STEP by step until there is no TURNING back.

To BECOME mindfully aware of our SURROUNDINGS is to bring our thinking BACK to our present moment reality and to the possibility of some semblance of serenity in the face of CIRCUMSTANCES OUTSIDE our ability to control.

I would LIKE to say EVERY MOMENT counts for you, so make the time that you spend for your dreams a very special moment, make SURE that you do something that you'll be happy with when you go back and LOOK at yourself.

We are TIED to the ocean. And when we GO BACK to the sea, whether it is to SAIL or to WATCH - we are going back from whence we came.
