It's not as bad as it was last year. It feels good today.

I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I've always been a big gamer.

When times get rough, keep your head up.

We are a species that has lost its way. Everything natural, every flower or tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look, and listen.

Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children.

Loving consciously does not mean subjecting your relationship to endless analysis. It means something much simpler: paying attention. Noticing. This requires presence.

We will sell no wine before its time.

It does not pay to be friendly with officers, they take advantage of you.
