“Dreams are always crushing when they don't come true. But it's the simple dreams that are often the most painful because they seem so personal, so reasonable, so attainable. You're always close enough to touch, but never quite close enough to hold and it's enough to break your heart.”
“Beauty might prevail in the very short term, but in the medium and longer terms, cultural norms - primarily those values and norms influenced by family - were more important.”
“Little girls. They could melt the toughest hearts.”

“My wife is so fat that when she lays on the beach the people feel sorry for her and try to roll her back into the water.”
“Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.”
“My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she's not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that's a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.”
More on Commitment
“Don't ever give up on something or someone that you can't go a full day without thinking about.”
“COMMITMENT is the first step to every good thing I know, and the only step that matters when it comes to achievement. It inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. And the commitment that is based on values will endure. Any time you make choices based on solid life values, you are in a better position to sustain your level of commitment, because you don't have to continually re-evaluate its importance.”
“Focus alone is not enough; putting in the time to commit is also crucial to achieve success.”
