Cleverness isn't always true nor is the truth always clever

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.

When a man is penalized for honesty he learns to lie.

Let your confidence reflect your contentedness.

The man who is most aggressive in teaching tolerance is the most intolerant of all: he wants a world full of people too timid and ashamed to really disagree with anything.

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.

To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.

The weather is nature's disruptor of human plans and busybodies. Of all the things on earth, nature's disruption is what we know we can depend on, as it is essentially uncontrolled by men.

Your dreams will define your destiny.

Money always changes the game, when you let a dollar come between you and your friends, your cohorts.

I'm not interested in an imaginary world

We could advance the human race enormously if we but learned to communicate honestly with our neighbors.

Democrats do have a historic race going. Hillary Clinton vs. Barack Obama. Normally, when you see a black man or a woman president an asteroid is about to hit the Statue of Liberty.

Too many Christians want to change the world not because they love the world but because they hate the world

The muse in charge of fantasy wears good, sensible shoes. No foam-born Aphrodite, she vaguely resembles my old piano teacher, who was keen on metronomes.

I'm a huge fan of Cabernet and Bordeaux, and am passionate about Pinot Noir and Burgundies.

As musicians, and as people who sell material for people to hear and absorb, it's important that we use that voice wisely.
