The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood, character, integrity and leadership, the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age, and then the better off they'll be.

Of course, everyone's parents are embarrassing. It goes with the territory. The nature of parents is to embarrass merely by existing, just as it is the nature of children of a certain age to cringe with embarrassment, shame, and mortification should their parents so much as speak to them on the street.

Neil Gaiman

One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.

Jose Rizal

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

John Cusack

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

Chris Brown

For too much rest becomes a pain.

Homer

I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.

Tony Bennett

So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.

Charlize Theron

Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.

Gore Vidal

Again, I am surprised why people seek to eliminate lust and cling to love; as they wish to ignore happiness and cleave unto joy! Now, now, let's not sugar-coat things! Lust has a lot more to do with life and what is the good of life if you do not carry much lust inside of you at all times? And joy is a noble thing, but happiness though fleeting can be found every day and in every small little way!

C. JoyBell C.

It was a strange, wonderful feeling. To discover eyes upon you when you expected no one to notice you at all.

Rita Williams-Garcia

Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the two sexes.

Oscar Wilde

When you put something out there into the world, there's all these words you don't want to hear, that you hope people don't say. I don't like anything that starts with 're' - like retro, reinvent, recreate - I hate that. It's always like living in the past - copying, emulating.
