My wife has to be the worst cook. I've got the only dog who begs for alkaseltzer.

We believe that God is big enough to give every nationality their own religion, as he's given them their own taste in food, in plants, in furniture, and housing. I think that each religion has their basic Christ-ish way to get to the Everlasting God.

Duane Chapman

We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.

Martha Grimes

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.

John Donne

People who supported Obama felt like they formed a relationship, that they were being spoken to. The way that campaign worked and the way he's worked during his first term is to make people feel like he's grasping their hand, whether it's by tweeting or email, moments after an event, sometimes during an event. It makes people relate to him.

James Spader

I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller.

Michael Palin

Ideas are these disembodied life forms, they don’t have a form, but they have a will. All they want is to be made manifest. If you can manage to open up your consciousness to an idea of living in a world of abundance, then you can believe that, constantly, ideas are trying to find human collaborators.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.

Sir William Haley

If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life. I mean people are going to say, You're crazy. Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.

Diane Arbus

My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions but action.

Shannon L. Alder

The man who wins is the average man, Not built on any particular plan; Not blessed with any particular luck

Conrad Hilton, from autobiograph

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

George W. Bush

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.
