I'm very organized - and the best thing - when you love your work, you don't mind putting in 15 hour days. It's joyful.

I look at my roommates who are so proud of me that it makes me proud.

That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you - without you asking.

A good mother is irreplaceable.

I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.

But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.

We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.

Mama always said a good family has one heartbeat. No one knows you like the people you live with, and no one will take up your cause to the outside world quite like your blood relatives.

I even love the smell of books.

I don't settle in any other area of my life when it comes to excellence, so why should I lower my standards when it comes to boys?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who want to know the facts, and those who want to make up a nice story to feel better. I wish I was the kind who made up stories.

Never mistaken humility for foolishness, nor pride for power.

Should' assumes that when either willingness or ability is lacking, it may be compensated for by an abundance of the other. This is simply not realistic.

The poor who commit murder, rape and robbery are not only not starving, they have far more material things than the word ‘poverty’ suggests.

I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.

while we all desire to live long, we have all a horror of being old!

I don't see lethality as the problem. I mean, the lethality of US forces is quite remarkable.

I don't think too far ahead because I want to appreciate what's happening now.

The first thing Jesus tells the church of Ephesus that He loves about them is they have sound doctrine.

Wall Street, with its army of brokers, analysts, and advisers funneling trillions of dollars into mutual funds, hedge funds, and private equity funds, is an elaborate fraud.

What is humility but truthfulness? There is no real difference.
