If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy. It's not giving a damn.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

Don't tell me the sky is the limit - there's footprints on the Moon. - Overheard at a flee market.

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up their minds whether they'll 'say something about it' or not. I hate if they do, and if they don't.

I don't need a man. I'm really happy with myself and being with my friends.

Lawyers and rogues are vermin not easily rooted out of a rich soil.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

And I've been incredibly lucky to have a long career in journalism that has given me a front-row seat to some of the most important moments in modern American political life.

My head spins. One moment I'm told I'm too edgy, then people say I'm too angry, then that I show too much passion... make your minds up.

Love is your song - you can sing it any time. It is like breathing. Nobody is going to take it away from you; nobody can take it away from you.

I think unintentionally I gravitate towards concepts and topics that hit home or are something real we can all relate to.
