I think that China has many outstanding authors, and their great works should also be recognised by the world.

In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.

I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.

Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.

People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.

Possibly because I've lived so much of my life in difficult circumstances, I think I have a more profound understanding of life.

For a country boy, poor as I was, whose constant worry was to be able to have enough to eat, the Army guaranteed one's survival.

How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.

Learning to focus on the big picture will help you keep things in a proper perspective.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

We should be authentic: the ‘real deal’. Neither a clone nor mimic be.

There are those who say that revealed religion and organic evolution can be harmonized. This is both false and devilish.

Appreciate how rare and full of potential your situation is in this world, then take joy in it, and use it to your best advantage.

Where were the calls for a no-fly zone when Israel attacked Gaza

I'm accused of cleverness as if it were a sin. She is merely clever, they say.

It seems to me morally a decent society will try to take some of the increased benefit and use that to alleviate the pain of the few who are bearing the cost that made it possible.
