A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.

Deep breaths are very helpful at shallow parties.

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.

My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

My New Year's Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.

When people get married young, you don't really understand the true definition of marriage.

Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the soul.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.

When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.

Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
