I placed over a thousand deaf people in jobs throughout my career working for the deaf.

Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world.

It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.

The universe is like a pension plan. It will match your investment.

So instead of beating myself up for being fat, I think it's a miracle that I laugh every day and walk through my life with pride, because our culture is unrelenting when it comes to large people.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and that someday I would arrive at it.

People in this country haven't stopped hating fat people, but they've become more kind to me, since in our culture, even though we hate our fat people, we love our celebrities even more.

I can either cross the street, or I can keep waiting for another few years of green lights to go by.

You can either destroy your spirit or you can accept and love yourself just the way you are.

Man is something that shall be overcome.Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss.What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.

Let what offends God offend me, and what God pardons, I pardon.

Never trust a woman hoarding a half-eaten bag of M&M's.

Given that you desire to change things in your life much bigger than particles, how long do you maintain your observation and how much mental power do you invest in observing those things?

Sometimes success is due less to ability than zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul.

Gray hair is a sign of age not of wisdom.

A large picture can give us images of things, but a relatively small one can best re-create the instantaneous unity of nature as a view - the unity of which the eyes take in at a single glance.

The world belongs to the articulate.

I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

Surely heaven must have something of the color and shape of whatever village or hill or cottage of which the believer says, This is my own.
