Sometimes you have to experience the bad, so that you can learn to appreciate the good things that enter your life.

One is born with good taste. It's very hard to acquire. You can acquire the patina of taste. But what Elsie Mendl had was something else that's particularly American––an appreciation of vulgarity. Vulgarity is a very important ingredient in life. I'm a great believer in vulgarity––if it's got vitality. A little bad taste is like a nice splash of paprika. We all need a splash of bad taste––it's hearty, it's healthy, it's physical. I think we could use more of it. No taste is what I'm against.
Getting used to our blessings is one of the most important non-evil generators of human evil, tragedy and suffering.

If you instill in your child a love of the outdoors and an appreciation of nature, you will have given him a treasure no one can take away.
Business and human endeavors are systems. . . we tend to focus on snapshots of isolated parts of the system. And wonder why our deepest problems never get solved.
Few love what they may have.
In fact, the Alejandro video. . . is a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, and their love for one another, their courage in their relationships.
I would like to extend to you our deep appreciation and thanks for the position the United States has taken in support of the democratization process that has taken place in Tunisia, in Egypt, and what is attempting to take place in Libya.
