The most important thing in the world is family and love.

It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.

It ain't as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

Magnanimous people have no vanity, they have no jealousy, and they feed on the true and the solid wherever they find it. And, what is more, they find it everywhere.

Like hatred, jealousy is forbidden by the laws of life because it is essentially destructive.

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.

The return we reap from generous actions is not always evident.

When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Some mornings you wake up and think, gee I look handsome today. Other days I think, what am I doing in the movies? I wanna go back to Ireland and drive a forklift.

If you're changing the world, you're working on important things. You're excited to get up in the morning.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks.
