Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.

The compromisewill always be more expensive than either of the suggestions it iscompromising.

Relationships of trust depend on our willingness to looknot only to our own interests, but also the interests of others.

Themost intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security andcalm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts andtheir conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.

Aquarrel is like buttermilk: once it's out of the churn, the more you shakeit, the more sour it grows.

Amarriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.

Use softwords and hard arguments.

Makesure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night's sleep, andyou can't settle anything until morning anyway.

Livingwith integrity means: not settling for less than what you know you deserve inyour relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speakingyour truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in waysthat are in harmony

Acreaking door hangs long on its hinges.

All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.

A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles.
