Sometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore.

Just because you're breathing, doesn't mean you're alive.

Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.

Only you can know the difference between your wants and your needs, and your sacrifice of your life's time to both.

Reading teaches us the nuances of humanity. To find the beauty of what is moral and ethical in your own actions and discover the strange subtlety of what it is to question why you should exist.

A good man lives for the joy in life and the happiness of being alive, not shackled to the wants of the future or the regrets of the past.

You know there's got to be a better way of life - somewhere, sometime, somehow - but you're not exactly sure what better is.

Time. Either you are for it or against it. So be here now. Not later.

In the media universe we're in, where there are people screaming on one end, there is no problem at all with having a little bit of extra politeness.

You can't recover from what you do not understand.

But I believe in love, you know; love is a uniquely portable magic. I don’t think it’s in the stars, but I do believe that blood calls to blood and mind calls to mind and heart to heart.

Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy.
