Anger slowly.Forgive quickly.Trust cautiously.Love easily.

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.

Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.

Two can keep secret if the one is dead. (A Good Marriage by Stephen King)

I'm a firm believer in learning by heart.

If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

A U.S. Senator should have the same right as a member of the Knesset...to disagree with any government when its actions may not be in the United States' interest.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.

Some people spend their days talking about how cool they areothers spend them doing things that make them cool

And yes, again, that was it exactly. A retyper and not a writer. A prodigy and not a genius.

I have always voted Labour and I always will. I have got to have one stupid, bovine part of me and that's the part that votes Labour.

With the same honest views, the most honest men often form different conclusions.
