“It only takes one mistake and nothing else you ever do will matter. No matter how hard you work or how smart you become, you'll always be known for that one poor choice.”

“Still you can't keep doing the coulda and the woulda and the shoulda. And if there's one thing I know it's this. Doesn't matter how smart you are, or even how careful or lucky, there's some mistakes you just keep making over and over.”

“I'm telling you this for one reason and one reason only: No matter how sure you are of someone's love, it's always nice to hear it.”

“It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you stop and think.”

“No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”

“You can’t protect yourself. No matter how safe you think you are. No matter how much precaution you take, the rodents always find a way in.’ (Kiara)”

“No matter how hard you work to bring yourself up, there's someone out there working just as hard, to put you down. ”

“No matter how many luxuries you get, something will be missing. No matter how carefully you choose, you'll never be totally happy.”

“You can't control how lucky you are, you can't control how smart you are, but you can control how hard you work.”

“I've always sort of wondered: If everyone else's opinion is what matters, then do you ever really have one of your own?”
