If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface.

Our time on Earth is already short enough. For me, it's like every single day I try to be as happy as I can. It's crazy to think about. We never have enough time. That's always the thing.

My abiding faith in the American people is undiminished. That's still what drives me every single day.
I just don't think a lot of Republicans like it when single women have sex.
Envy is the most stupid of vices, for there is no single advantage to be gained from it.
The artist's interest cannot be restricted to a single field; he must seek the highest perception of everything, of the whole and its details.
So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.
