I always secretly looked forward to nothing going as planned. That way, I wasn't limited by my imagination. That way, anything can, and always did, happen.

Love is an ice cream sundae, with all the marvelous coverings. Sex is the cherry on top.

Jimmy Dean

Last year, I finally got my own grand piano, and that was a big thing for me because it's always been and always will be a very important part of my life.

David Hyde Pierce

In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision.

Italo Calvino

There is no employing class, no working class, no farming class. You may pigeonhole a man or woman as a farmer or a worker or a professional man or an employer or even a banker. But the son of the farmer will be a doctor or a worker or even a banker, and his daughter a teacher. The son of a worker will be an employer - or maybe president.

Herbert Hoover

The highest prize in a world of men is the most beautiful woman available on your arm and living there in her heart loyal to you.

Norman Mailer

Die hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.

Ronald Reagan

It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

There's a difference between waiting with patient expectation, and waiting because you never know what God will do. If you don't know how God thinks or what God wants to do in your life, read the Bible. When you know what God wants you to do, go out there and do it and see God work his wonderful mission through you.The whole time you thought you were waiting on God, but the whole time God was WAITING ON YOU.

Osayi Osar-Emokpae

Faith is to believe what you do not see the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.

Saint Augustine

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Henri Nouwen

Complaining is a complete waste of one's energy. Those who complain the most accomplish the least.

Robert Tew

The challenge in working in politics, particularly if you're working for a political party, is that everyone's a messenger.
