Why Dr. Phil is one of my favorite Boomers (to love and hate)http://babyboomerinsights.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/02/why-dr-phil-is.html

"In honor of daytime's beloved TV therapist, here are my favorite Dr. Phil quotes, straight from my hard drive, where I added them as I heard them over the past six-plus years:"

• You can’t give away what you don’t have.


• No matter how flat you make a pancake, there’s always two sides.


• How’s that working for you?


• Sometimes you make the right decision; and sometimes you make the decision right.


• Awareness without action is worthless.


• The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.


• It is better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.


• If you want more, you have to require more of yourself.


• The most you get is what you ask for.


• You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you.


• We teach people how to treat us.


• The quickest way between A and B is not always at a feverish pace.


• Sometimes you've just gotta give yourself what you wish you were getting from someone else.


• Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of hurt, fear and frustration.


• People with nothing to hide, hide nothing.


• There is no reality – only perception.


• Life rewards action.


• You have to name it before you can claim it.


• There is power in forgiveness.


• Life is managed; it is not cured.


• You create your own experience.


• You either get it or you don’t.


• People do what works.


• You wouldn’t worry so much about what people think about you if you just realized how little they do.


• You have to create yourself from the inside out.


• You can’t talk your way out of something you behaved your way into.


• You’re only a loser if you quit while you’re behind.


• Sometimes, a relationship just needs a hero.


• You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge.

Even if you don't like Dr. Phil (and I do see how that's possible) you just about have to admit he comes out with some real jewels sometimes.
