Havin' fun while freedom fightin' must be one of those lunatic Texas traits we get from the water - which is known to have lithium in it - because it goes all the way back to Sam Houston, surely the most lovable, the most human, and the funniest of all the great men this country has ever produced.

If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.

Peter Prange

I think Romeo and Juliet is uplifting. That's how much a son wishes to avenge his father. That is how much two young people can love each other.

Ben Kingsley

You're never s good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

Lou Holtz

Nothing annoys a woman more than to have company drop in unexpectedly and find the house looking as it usually does.
