“I'm single because I was born that way.”
Mae West
“You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.”
Jo Coudert
“I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.”
Charles R. Swindoll
“How clever you are, my dear! You never mean a single word you say.”
Oscar Wilde
“To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.”
Dalai Lama
“If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600.”
Babe Ruth
“It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story”
Native American Proverb
“The single most exciting thing you encounter in government is competence, because it's so rare.”
Daniel P. Moynihan
“'I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.' A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“Why get married and make one man miserable when I can stay single and make thousands miserable?”
Carrie P. Snow
