Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

I was raised in the greatest of homes... just a really great dad, and I miss him so much... he was a good man, a real simple man... Very faithful, always loved my mom, always provided for the kids, and just a lot of fun.

Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.

Jealousy is never satisfied with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold of the heart.

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.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

A year from now, you're gonna weigh more or less than what you do right now.

Life is a progress, and not a station.

Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.

My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source - a Sower of Dreams - just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

Some memories are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming!
