My philosophy is to have a really good time and never to let anything stop me from doing what I want to do.

Do it! People who succeed don’t just sit and think about what they want to do. They take meaningful, purposeful, directional action consistently and persistently. Every step they take puts them toward the outcome they’re looking for.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

There are people who, instead of listening to what is being said to them, are already listening to what they are going to say themselves.

Anyone who does anything useful will not go unpaid.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Progress is a new season and the rule of progress is everything in its season.

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress.

It is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but they happen all of the time.

You know I don’t wanna come on ungrateful, but that warren report, you know as well as me, just didn’t make it. You know, like they might as well have asked some banana salesman from des moines, who was up in toronto on the big day, if he saw anyone around looking suspicious…

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.

Only when you are kinder to yourself, you can be kinder to the world.

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Opinions are like asses, every body’s got one!

If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
