Bhumibol Adulyadej Quotes

When I was young, we had nothing. The carpets and upholstery in the palace were full of holes. The floors creaked. Everything was so old. Yes, we had a piano, an upright given to us by the Fine Arts Department. But it was out of tune.

When I had my children, it was much more balanced toward love and family, and I didn't get a lot of work done.

That's probably more important than success in any one of those spheres alone.
