Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.

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.

Never mistake motion for action.

Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

Even though we're a week and a half away from Thanksgiving, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

Anniversaries are like birthdays: occasions to celebrate and to think ahead, usually among friends with whom one shares not only the past but also the future.

I tried to bake a cake for my mother's birthday - it took me four hours. It was terrible, and I cried for three days.

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.

Friendship brings in a lot of honesty and trust into any relationship, especially a marriage.

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Without labor nothing prospers.

In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' What I've discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.

I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don't agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!

Example is leadership.

I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.
