Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day, which must be done, whether you like it or not.

Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.

Regarding marriage, it - somehow, it didn't happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.

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

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

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year - birthday, anniversary, holidays - that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt. That being said, Thanksgiving is a meal - it's not a Thanksgiving day, and it's not a Thanksgiving week.

I love my wife, she deserves anything and everything.

The idea of having a steady job is appealing.

There is one person who sends me three cards every year. One on New Year's, one for my birthday and the third that marks the anniversary of my flight into space.

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

Common sense is not so common.

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

Good things happen to those who hustle.

Next month, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride, Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.

Eating rice cakes is like chewing on a foam coffee cup, only less filling.

The principle part of faith is patience.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
