Understanding

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love

Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand

You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother

In youth we learn; in age we understand

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love

Everything that I understand, I understand only because I love

I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach

Once harm has been done, even a fool understands it

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them, they translate it into their own language, and forthwith it means something entirely different

If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself

Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles

Friends...they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband

As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing

The language of friendship is not words but meanings
