It's not that I'm universally loved. We know I'm not in New Jersey. But what they do say in New Jersey is, 'We like him, and we think he's telling us the truth.' I think we need to have that type of politics on the national level.

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.

Dolly Parton

Great men never make bad use of their superiority. They see it and feel it and are not less modest. The more they have, the more they know their own deficiencies.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I shall be an autocrat, that's my trade and the good Lord will forgive me, that's his.

Catherine the Great

I like making pies. I have a bunch of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree sprouted, and I like making loquat pie. They're really hard to peel and everything, and it took me forever, but they make the best pies. They're amazing.

Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father. Matthew 18:10

Bible

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

George Bernard Shaw

Just do what you do best.

Red Auerbach

When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep.

Patti Smith

But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses, I still don't get young men standing up and saying, 'How can I combine career and family?'

Gertrude Stein

Behind every great fortune there is a crime.

Honore de Balzac

There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.

Milan Kundera
