Believe in your work, educate yourself about the business, surround yourself with good people, set goals and timetables and stay focused on them.

Publishing companies and a great many authors have missed the opportunity to capitalize on the very real relationships they create with their readers.

I am not a trained writer and I don't think anyone would accuse me of being a funny person. But I feel God has truly blessed me.

I never stopped believing in my ability or what I was doing. I want to pass that sense of faith and perseverance on to others.

Don't date a woman without cable (no cable, no SportsCenter).

I honestly believe that all of my work have the type of impact that will allow me to create some unique opportunities.

Don't date a woman with satin sheets on her bed (she didn't put them there just for you).

My dates are nightmares! If she were awake, alive, not on parole and truly single that would start. Place, time and what we do matters little if I'm out with the right woman.

Women and men basically want the same things. Trust. Respect. Support. Love. Room to grow and a major physical attraction.

Don't get down on yourself when you get rejection letters.

Don't date a woman who doesn't take care of her place (she won't take care of you).

Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

Volunteerism is vital in all times; it keeps our communities alive...and will make a difference in the lives of those who will come after us.

I don't get bitter, I just get better.

A man who knows all goods and all truths, as many as can be known, but does not shun evils, knows nothing.

Cooking can be rewarding when it is a choice and no longer the onerous duty of the housewife, and when a dishwasher can lighten the load at the other end of the process.

If God is enough for you, then you'll always have enough, because you'll always have God.

Thank God for little miracles, right?

Peace prevails when food suffices

Fear's what puts dreams to sleep.
