Never play the Devil's Advocate. Your words could be the difference between success and failure in someone else.

I was thinking about picking up kayaking, but I didn't want anyone to think I had herpes.

I used to dream of a week-long beach vacation with white sand under my toes... right now, I'd settle for 48 hours at a Motel 6 with some Lysol and a UV lamp.

I think we, sometimes, try to fill a void with so many other things that we make the wound deeper & prevent it from ever healing properly.

Your past doesn't define you. Only your present and your future. If your life is screwed up, stop making excuses. What are you going to do about it today?

If it isn't going to matter to you in 5 years, quit stressing about it. (Also, quit b*tching about it. It might matter when you're all alone in 5 yrs because you're annoying now.)

It's nice to feel needed... it's better to feel wanted.

As a kid, I dreamed of a knight in shining armor coming to rescue me. Now, I just dream of equal pay for equal work.

I'll say it again, for every moment you're with the wrong person, you are robbing yourself and the right person of the opportunity to find real happiness.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and if you screw that up, you can start again tomorrow.

There is no fate... no predestination... no luck. Don't use that as an excuse to not live the life you want. Work for it. You make your future - no one else.

Live a life in the light of love.

With persistent prayer, the desired wish shall be fulfilled.

People make their own reality. That was what Praxis had taught him years ago. A hundred people can witness the exact same event, and give two hundred and three different accountings of it.

A constitutional democracy is in serious trouble if its citizenry does not have a certain degree of education and civic virtue.

It is, by common consent, a good thing for people to get back to nature.

If we do not pay for children in good schools, then we are going to pay for them in prisons and mental hospitals.

It's far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.

The role of art for me is the visualization of attitude, of the human attitude towards life, towards the world.

I love all my children, but some of them I don't like.

Only put money in the banking system that you can afford to lose!
