There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily - that's the tragedy.

Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot more willing to die.

I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Life is thickly sown with thorns and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

Imitation is being rewarded. They're learning that if you fit right in the mold you get rewarded. Music is no longer a form of expression - it's a means to a lifestyle.

Leadership has become a heavy industry. Concern and interest about leadership development is no longer an American phenomenon. It is truly global. Though I will probably be in less demand I wanted to move on.

The longer we go without strong leadership from the Administration and until we see significant progress in the day-to-day lives of the Iraqi people the more difficult it will become to sustain the support of the American people and Congress for the current course.

The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true if it ever was.

People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives have more knowledge more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?

The larger the island of knowledge the longer the shoreline of wonder.

It is becoming clear that the old platitudes can no longer be maintained and that if we wish to improve our morals we must first improve our knowledge.

We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups.

As a nation we have over the past seven years been rebuilding our intelligence with powerful capabilities that many thought we would no longer need after the Cold War. We have been rebuilding our clandestine service our satellite and other technical collection our analytical depth and expertise.

Not all intelligence can be artificial now so if we make a mistake the consequences are no longer simply located within an institution or a national culture.

It's not that I'm so smart it's just that I stay with problems longer.

Clouds come floating into my life no longer to carry rain or usher storm but to add color to my sunset sky.

I'm a better coach now than when I joined Celtic. The longer you stay in any job the better you become. If you lose your drive your enthusiasm your imagination that experience is no good.

Just about this time when in imagination I was so great a warrior I had good use in real life for more strength as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse but instead had myself to protect my brother two years my junior.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's 'Courant ' it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America's last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive.

I don't want to go on much longer really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also.

When we can find some humor in our upsets they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.
