I believe in living a poetic life, an art full life. Everything we do from the way we raise our children to the way we welcome our friends is part of a large canvas we are creating.

Nothing will work unless you do.

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!

Everyone has choices to make no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love..

We are all actors in life. Some act like they won’t amount to much while others do the opposite. You have a choice

God did not just create you to be a nice person and eat hamburgers until you die

Never stop believing, have your own happy end.

Opinion has ever been stronger than law.

I do a few jokes about the economy but from an everyday person perspective. People like to laugh, and they especially like to laugh during difficult circumstances.

My family are all storytellers, and I think I inherited a lot more of that gene than other people in my family. I guess I was fun to have around.

It's easier to be creative if you've got other people to play with.

I don't want to sound like some grumpy old man telling you to get off my lawn.

I was the fastest typist in my school, and I had an obsession with spelling and memorizing.
