A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk.

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

United we stand, divided we fall.

It is a matter of shame that in the morning the birds should be awake earlier than you.

Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.

If no one shopped on Thanksgiving Day, the stores wouldn't open. End of story. I say we all take the pledge and stay home. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for what you have, not to save a few dollars to get more.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.

I've just concluded - since President Obama endorses the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people, and enjoys an attractive countenance - thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, D.C., get down on my knee, and ask his hand.

The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.

Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.

I think the person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

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.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.

Food for the body is not enough. There must be food for the soul.

All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
