Garrison Keillor

Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

Let’s love ourselves then we can’t fail to make a better situation tomorrow. Our seeds will grow, all we need is dedication.

It doesn’t have to take over your life, it doesn’t have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks, as long as you’re happy.

Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault!

Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.

I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very, very, very intelligent.

Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart […] I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!

I do an hour’s yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot – and I thought I had turned into this superhunk!

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within- strength, courage, dignity.

The way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that’s only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.

I’m a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.

The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

I am an eternally deluded person. No one is as deluded as I am. How clear this is to me when I do zazen!

There’s no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.
