I never stopped believing in my ability or what I was doing. I want to pass that sense of faith and perseverance on to others.

Publishing companies and a great many authors have missed the opportunity to capitalize on the very real relationships they create with their readers.

I am not a trained writer and I don't think anyone would accuse me of being a funny person. But I feel God has truly blessed me.

Believe in your work, educate yourself about the business, surround yourself with good people, set goals and timetables and stay focused on them.

Don't date a woman without cable (no cable, no SportsCenter).

I honestly believe that all of my work have the type of impact that will allow me to create some unique opportunities.

Don't date a woman with satin sheets on her bed (she didn't put them there just for you).

My dates are nightmares! If she were awake, alive, not on parole and truly single that would start. Place, time and what we do matters little if I'm out with the right woman.

Women and men basically want the same things. Trust. Respect. Support. Love. Room to grow and a major physical attraction.

Don't get down on yourself when you get rejection letters.

Don't date a woman who doesn't take care of her place (she won't take care of you).

Give today to get better tomorrow.

Sticks and stones may break your bones, and words – can cut your insides.

Sometimes expecting too much lands you nowhere in life..

Men and women want to do a good job, and if they are provided the proper environment, they will do so.

Yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often. Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.

Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, how hard the battle goes, the day how long, faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.

I went to school for clothing and textiles and thought this is what I was going to do. Then I started working in costumes and literally said, 'I don't know if I can take the actors.'

Sanity ... is the most profound moral option of our time.

You make knowledge relevant to life and you make it important for children to learn things that will really relate to things going on in their lives, and not abstract.

We therefore need to know the gifts given us by God, so that we may use them, for by these we shall be saved.
