I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier.

If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.

I ride earth's burning carousel. Day in, day out.

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.

I think that if you don't think we're in a war that you can't win the war.

I'm just a simple guy. I love being at my house with my family. I love playing dominos and card games and hunting and fishing. That's just what I like to do.

I've never seen most of the fashion reality shows. The only one I've seen is 'Project Runway,' which is great, but I don't watch television.

I learned a lot about humility and patience, keeping my mouth shut.

Pain is the precursor to change.

We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, but strike it till it is made hot.
