“Life, I've learned, is never fair. If they teach anything in schools, that should be it.”

“I suppose [my life] has most resembled a blue chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say that about his life.”

“I've come to understand that arguing with [my wife] about it has never solved anything. So instead of denying it, I've learned to take her hands, look her in the eyes, and respond with those three magic words every woman wants to hear:"You're right, sweetheart.”

“One of the things I've learned in my life is that sometimes you've got to take a chance.”

“That life isn't fair?" Yeah, that, of course. But I also learned that it's possible to go on, no matter how impossible it seems, and that in time, the grief... lessens.”

“The saddest people I've met in my life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all .”

“I've learned that we're all entitled to have our secrets.”
