I'd like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Steve Jobs

Love is all, it gives all, and it takes all.

Søren Kierkegaard

It's a question of attitude. If you really work at something you can do it up to a point. If you really work at being happy you can do it up to a point. But anything more than that you can't. Anything more than that is luck.

Haruki Murakami

Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions.

Carl Sandburg

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

Jason Derulo

In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem

Ronald Reagan

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Ernest Hemingway

I'm not out burning bras, but I'm very opinionated about women owning their power.

Katherine Heigl

A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the State with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated by it as enemies.

Henry David Thoreau

Nothing in life prepares you to be famous.

Jeff Foxworthy

This is the thing about life I've never really understood until now: we try so hard to control it, but bad things happen anyway. The only real control is an anti-control, a letting go.

R.A. Nelson

Prayer does not change God, but changes him who prays.

Soren Kierkegaard
