Living and dreaming are two different things - but you can't do one without the other.
The day nothing turns you on - you're dead. No matter how many more years you go on breathing.

You can't fool the mirror-what you see is what you are.
The last thing you do the best is what you have the most joy doing.
To seduce most anyone, ask for and listen to his opinion.
Clout is something some seem to have-until they try exercising it.
Occasionally indulging in a do-nothing day is more than worth the price.
