For Miles, one of the great mysteries of marriage was that you had to actually say things before you realized they were wrong.

And then there's my personal favorite: They were just in the wrong place at hte wrong time. Then again, you could say the... Jodi Picoult
I'm not saying you did the wrong thing. I'm not even saying it wasn't something I'd thought of doing, myself. But even if it was the just thing to do, or the fitting thing, it still wasn't the right thing. Jodi Picoult
Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time. Bo Bennett
Strong passions are the precious raw material of sanctity. Individuals that have carried their sinning to extremes should not despair or say, “I am too great a sinner to change,” or “God would not want me.” God will take anyone who is willing to love, not with an occasional gesture, but with a “passionless passion,” a “wild tranquility.” A sinner, unrepentant, cannot love God, any more that a man on dry land can swim; but as soon as he takes his errant energies to God and asks for their...
