"You don't always have to chop with the sword of truth. You can point with it too."
Diplomacy
"It is a violation of trust to use your kids as caulking for the cracks in you."
Trust
"Some people won't go the extra mile, and then on their birthday, when no one makes a fuss, they feel neglected and bitter."

All of us lurch and fall, sit in the dirt, are helped to our feet, keep moving, feel like idiots, lose our balance, gain it, help others get back on their feet, and keep going."
Humanity
"There may be a Nurse Ratched-like listing of things that must be done right this moment: foods that must come out of the freezer, appointments that must be canceled or made, hairs that must be tweezed. But you hold an imaginary gun to your head and make yourself stay at the desk."
