I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

There are a lot of things in this world that are more important than being popular. Being true to yourself is one of them.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I'm going to beat this cancer or die trying.

The tougher the fight, the more important the mental attitude.

O, wonder!How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, That has such people in't!

Manage your relationships. Great relationships may not be profitable, but bad ones always result in losses.

Creativity is admired only if it solves the problem.

Don't show your inferiority by climbing a stunted tree, show your superiority by climbing the longest and crooked one.

Napoleon Hill also rehashed 'thoughts create things' when he wrote Think & Grow Rich in 1937 (although it had taken him 25 years to complete).

When you sit tranquilly, you set a great example to the people who rush around in panic and thus you show the crazy waves the beauty of being a calm lake!

Sometimes, God uses difficult people, like sandpaper, to rub the rough edges off us.

In the bigger scheme of things the universe is not asking us to do something, the universe is asking us to be something. And that's a whole different thing.

Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?

It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.
