Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.

What made losing someone you loved bearable was not remembering but forgetting. Forgetting small things first... it's amazing how much you could forget, and everything you forgot made that person less alive inside you until you could finally endure it. After more time passed you could let yourself remember, even want to remember. But even then what you felt those first days could return and remind you the grief was still there, like old barbed wire embedded in a tree's heartwood.

Session musicians kind of respected me because what I was talking about made sense. That all came from an education. Believe me, education does you more good. Maybe that's the reason I've been around so long.

To be pure and holy in all things is a necessary characteristic of the unenslaved mind.

Abdu'l-Baha

Most personalities have been obliged to be rebels. Half their strength has been wasted in friction.

Oscar Wilde

Man must learn to know the universe precisely as it is, or he cannot successfully find his place in it. A man should therefore use his reasoning faculty in all matters involving truth, and especially as concerning his religion. He must learn to distinguish between truth and error.

John Andreas Widtsoe

Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game called Sardines. In Sardines the person who is IT goes and hides, and everybody goes looking for him. When you find him, you get in with him and hide there with him. Pretty soon everybody is hiding together, all stacked in a small space like puppies in a pile. And pretty soon somebody giggles and somebody laughs and everybody gets found.Medieval theologians even described God, in hide-and-seek terms, calling him Deus Absconditus. But me, I think old God is a Sardine player. And will be found the same way everybody gets found in Sardines - by the sound of laughter of those heaped together at the end.

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

William Shakespeare

An excuse is worse than a lie, for an excuse is a lie, guarded.

Alexander Pope

Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience.

M. Scott Peck

And if you look at the reality in the United States, where you have more than 40 million people below the poverty line and 42 million on food stamps, and then you look at poverty around the world, clearly the way we're running the engine of capitalism is not serving us well.

Simon Mainwaring

We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.

John Bacon

To advise is easier than to help.
