I love efficiencies and I love solving big problems, and I love working with people who create efficiencies. I love creating efficiencies in my own life on a day-to-day basis.

Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder; as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.

Men and women are born incomplete, and need each other to become whole. They are born with complimentary qualities and characteristics. Each one needs the other to fulfill his or her human destiny.

Today, the best businesses position themselves as "partners" with their customers, vendors, and suppliers. Instead of spreading their business over a large number of other companies, they consolidate their business with a single supplier with whom they work closely to develop high-quality relationships that lead to better quality, greater efficiency, and eventually, lower prices and higher profits for both parties.

It was scary how a girl couldn't live without friends.

Dear Friend, Just a line to show that I am alive & kicking and going grand. It's a treat.

The wolf stands on its hind legs, places its forelegs on the scientist's shoulders, and places its jaws around the scientist's head. This is just the wolf's way of being friendly. If you're an animal who doesn't know how to talk, a very clear signal is communicated: "See my teeth? Feel them? I could hurt you, I really could. But I won't. I like you.

You end up sacrificing quality time with family and friends, and you end up sacrificing time with yourself. Often you even sacrifice your health.

New Labour has systematically alienated section after section of the coalition we need to win and retain power.

In every friendship hearts grow and entwine themselves together, so that the two hearts seem to make only one heart with only a common thought. That is why separation is so painful; it is not so much two hearts separating, but one being torn asunder.

I'm going to ask you to do something that may feel even more painful: when you get close to becoming engaged, put any public announcement on delay for a few weeks and spend several sessions talking through all these issues again with someone else present.

If you like a person you say 'let's go into business together.' Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger.
