The power of imagination makes us infinite.

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing.

I’d rather be in the mountains thinking of God, than in church thinking about the mountains.

I think the worst way to go is to have somebody think they speak for God. If you look at history, every nation that has operated as if it spoke for God has become violently destructive.

Nature herself makes the wise man rich.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

noise is a pollution.
