Stand up and walk out of your history.

When you have the right script for your life, you will always be the star of the show.

No matter how flat you make a pancake, it’s still got two sides.

Instead of being ashamed of what you’ve been through, be proud of what you have overcome!

Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.

There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you’re dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That’s a normal marriage.

And you know, two heads are better than one.

I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there’s too much guilt.

The secret of life is to validate your existence.

Life is not a success-only journey. You are going to get beat up along the way. And you’ve got to have the strength of character to get up and get back in the game.

If you enjoy it enough you’re bound to learn something.

I share no man’s opinions; I have my own.

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Foolproof systems don’t take into account the ingenuity of fools.

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

Teach children not to be gullible.

You must learn that you do not have to be angry just because you have the right to be.

Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation.

I don’t read history. That’s in the past. I’m thinking of the future.

I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
