I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition.

If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don't paddle your own canoe, you don't move.

Never complain. Never explain.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.

Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone

You politicians remain professional because the voters remain amateur.

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

Boredom is restlessness of the soul. It is an internal message reminding you that you're better than the stagnancy you've settled for.

And we've got a toaster and everything. So there is no reason for the wedding.

God’s anointing is not based on your performance, but if you don’t open the Word, you’re stupid, because that’s where the words of life are.

Let peace, descending from her native heaven, bid her olives spring amidst the joyful nations; and plenty, in league with commerce, scatter blessings from her copious hand!

It is neither favorable nor unfavorable, because no one is there to favor it.

Most people are taught from an early age on, to conceive of themselves as losers. They are taught that there are a very special few who are eminently successful in life.

The atmosphere breathes rest and comfort, and the many chambers seem full of welcomes.

A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.

We have such a law: If you forgive, it means that God has forgiven you; but if you do not forgive your brother, it means that your sin remains with you.

I don't really see huge barriers between any styles of music.
