After law school, I had the opportunity to clerk for a tremendous judge, Leonard I. Garth, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, the court to which I was appointed in 1990.

I think that Congress's ability to reason is fully equal to that of the judiciary.

Home is where your heart is.

Now that I've let go of my story, I can let go of my life.

The one who says he doesn't understand anything about art, doesn't know himself.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.

An artist must be free to choose what he does, certainly, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose.

It is not my prayer and humility that you cause things to go as you wish, but by acquiring a knowledge of natural laws.

Make money and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman.

Real beauty is created when you are feeling good inside, whether that means being healthy, feeling confident or just wearing your favorite scent.
