There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of.
Happiness never becomes a habit.
What I've noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it's so wonderfully fair.

The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.
If you're wanting me to besmirch somebody's reputation so that there would be some sort of division created out of it, I'm not going to do that. . . If you're asking if I believe my opponent is a fake conservative, the answer to that question is yes, 100 percent.
After all, what is a kiss? A vow made at closer range, a more precise promise, a confession that contains its own proof, a seal placed on a pact that has already been signed; it's a secret told to the mouth rather than to the ear.
If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.
Without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their poetry, or savor their songs.
I wish I can meet my wife in the hereafter, but I don't think I will. I just cease to exist just as she has ceased to exist.
I realized about 10 years ago that my wealth has to go back to society. A fortune, the size of which is hard to imagine, is best not passed on to one's children. It's not constructive for them.
