Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.

One day spent with someone you love can change everything.

When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know that is the purest love you can find on this earth.

But she wasn’t around, and that’s the thing when your parents die, you feel like instead of going in to every fight with backup, you are going into every fight alone.

You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.

Sharing tales of those we've lost is how we keep from really losing them.

I thought about the days i had handed over to a bottle..the nights i can't remember..the mornings i slept thru..all the time spent running from myself.

I think what you notice most when you haven’t been home in a while is how much the trees have grown around your memories.

Once heaven is done with grandma, we'd like her back, thanks.

Solitude is a greater treasure than money.

Opportunity is rare, and a wise man will never let it go by him.

I spent money, I slept with women around the league, but I always kept my mind on the game.

You cannot imagine how it spoils one to have been a child prodigy.

since each child reads only about six hundred books in the course of childhood, each book should nourish them in some way - with new ideas, insight, humor, or vocabulary.

You can't arrest me, I'm a rockstar.

A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group - that's teamwork.

You either mellow at 30, or your head explodes - take your choice.

'All men are created equal', 'government by consent of the governed', 'give me liberty or give me death'. Well, those are not just clever words, or those are not just empty theories.

The opinions of men should not be the object of any government. Our civil rights are no more dependent on our religious beliefs than they are dependent upon our thoughts about geometry or physics!
