The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that.

I dont call myself a very good Christian, but I think I know one when I see one, and I also think I know when I dont.

You shouldn't never regret something that made you smile

I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.
