Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise.

Paul Engle

How can you sing of amazing grace and all God's wonders without using your hands?

Mahalia Jackson

Love is energy of life.

Robert Browning

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.

Nana Mouskouri

I constantly look up words and meanings in search of the perfect variable, method, and class names.

David Heinemeier Hansson

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.

Colleen C. Barrett

Gena Showalter

I always want to give my best and do the best I can. I know when I have sung my best and when I haven't. There can be stresses and hassles with time travel and press attention. I just have to adapt and find a way of dealing with it.
