Squeeze Quotations
When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out - because that's what's inside. When you are squeezed, what comes out is what is inside.
Wayne Dyer
The squeeze machine is not going to cure anybody, but it may help them relax; and a relaxed person will usually have better behavior.
Temple Grandin
The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.
Thomas Merton
I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.
Cher
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
