“Complaining is a lot like talking, only more constructive.”

“One does no question miracles, or complain that they are no constructed perfectly to one's liking.”

“Henri Poincaré, a celebrated French mathematician and philosopher of science, said, “Invention consists in avoiding the constructing of useless combinations and in constructing the useful combinations which are in infinite minority. To invent is to discern, to choose.” I’d like to invert the second sentence and propose a corollary: To choose is to invent. What I mean by this is that choosing is a creative process, one through which we construct our environment, our lives, our selves. If we ask for more and more material for the construction, i.e., more and more choice, we’re likely to end up with a lot of combinations that don’t do much for us or are far more complex than they need to be”

“To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.”

“Being a writer is a lot like being a mother, only books don't talk back when they get older.”

“If you prayed as much as you complain and quarrel, you'd have a lot less to argue about and much more peace of mind.”
