My random acts of violence weren't random. They were premeditated.
When I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they're part of a family, not just a tour.
Food-what is chosen from the possibilities available, how it is presented, how it is eaten, with whom and when, and how much time is allotted to cooking and eating it-is one of the means by which a society creates itself and acts out its aims and fantasies.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude spills over to acts of generosity.
One may say that evil does not exist for subjective man at all, that there exist only different conceptions of good.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.
Even in the most bold and daring acts, courage is a matter of the heart.
Rest and laughter are the most spiritual and subversive acts of all. Laugh, rest, slow down.
These irresponsible acts, which cannot have any justification whatsoever, are to be fully condemned. In these appalling circumstances, I want to offer you the most sincere condolences, both in my name and in that of the French people.
The divine love of God turns ordinary acts into extraordinary service.
The career of a great man remains an enduring monument of human energy. The man dies and disappears, but his thoughts and acts survive and leave an indelible stamp upon his race.
