The benefit of hindsight is we only really talk about those things that did work out.
The notion that Western religions are more rigid than those of Asia is overdrawn. Ours is the most permissive society history has ever known - almost the only thing that is forbidden now is to forbid - and Asian teachers and their progeny play up to this propensity by soft-pedaling Hinduism's, Buddhism's, Sufism's rules.
Why is it that a large majority of Hindus do not inter-dine and do not inter-marry? Why is it that your cause is not popular? There can be only one answer to this question, and it is that inter-dining and inter-marriage are repugnant to the beliefs and dogmas which the Hindus regard as sacred.
The only thing I don't have is hips.
Our Hispanic community needs to understand how important the Social Security system is for not only its retired citizens, but also its disabled workers.

I read little nonfiction, but I have no boundaries about the fiction I relish. The only unfailing criterion is that I can hitch my heart to the imagined world and read on.
It's only a hitch when you're in a slump. When you're hitting the ball its called rhythm.
I never hitched my wagon to anyone, so what I achieved over the years was done with only my results on the field.
Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected.
A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel's only morality.
I broke in with four hits, and the writers promptly declared they had seen the new Ty Cobb. It took me only a few days to correct that impression.
There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.
There will only ever be 13 dwarves in 'The Hobbit' - and I was one of them. If I had my time again, would I do it? Yeah, I would.
We're not only hockey players. A lot of guys have families and girlfriends. You can't just think about hockey 24-7.
