I never approved of talkies. Silent movies were well on their way to developing an entirely new art form. It was not just pantomine, but something wonderfully expressive.

What you get is a living-what you give is a life.

As long as you are curious, you will never be bored.

I've never been in style, so I can't go out of style.

A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning.

The older I get, the more I believe in what I can't explain or understand, even more than the things that are explainable and understandable.

I guess 14% plus Jesus equals victory
