I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'

Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.

I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, 'Did you sleep good?' I said 'No, I made a few mistakes.'

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Many people spend more time in planning the wedding than they do in planning the marriage.

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'

Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

To me faith means not worrying.
