To be heroic is to be courageous enough to die for something.

Just because something isn't a lie does not mean that it isn't deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction.

A solid answer to everything is not necessary. Blurry concepts influence one to focus, but postulated clarity influences arrogance.

When a man is penalized for honesty he learns to lie.

Let your confidence reflect your contentedness.

The man who is most aggressive in teaching tolerance is the most intolerant of all: he wants a world full of people too timid and ashamed to really disagree with anything.

There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you're wrong and you can't face it; the other is when you're right and nobody else can face it.

It is a noble responsibility to not back down when you know that you know that you know that you are right.

Audiences = expectations. If he thinks you're not watching, he won't need to rebel against your expectations.

The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind - creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

You might be a redneck if taking your wife on a cruise means circling the Dairy Queen.

The soul that feeds on books alone - I count that soul exceeding small That lives alone by book and creed, - A soul that has not learned to read.

It's not like I'm sitting at home coming up with some secret beauty plan. I try to eat fruit and be healthy. If I'm feeling a bit sickly, I usually get a good spray tan.

My son thinks I'm hilarious, but he's only 1.

In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.

God's only excuse is that he does not exist.
