• Watch their hands, watch their eyes.  Read eyes.  No matter what a man is saying to you, it's not as important as what you can read in his eyes.  The most important thing a man has to tell you is what he's not telling you; the most important thing he has to say is what he's trying not to say.

• The important task rarely must be done today, or even this week...But the urgent task calls for instant action...The momentary appeal of these tasks seems irresistible and important, and they devour our energy.
