Indeed - judicious, consistent parenting is a dream of mine. No judgements, learning space and listening carefully are my goals.

All we have, it seems to me, is the beauty of art and nature and life, and the love which that beauty inspires.

Edward Abbey

No man is good enough to govern another man without the other's consent.

Abraham Lincoln

At my age flowers scare me.

George Burns

I worked at a hot dog place, a bagel place, the Jersey Store and the hottest fashion joint around. I was getting too famous to work there anymore. I was almost showing up as a joke. I made $2,000 on my show the previous night and I'm going to go shopping during my five-hour shift.

I have never seen opponents so silent about their record, and so desperate to keep their power.

Paul Ryan

There are, of course, inherent tendencies to repetition in music itself. Our poetry, our ballads, our songs are full of repetition; nursery rhymes and the little chants and songs we use to teach young children have choruses and refrains. We are attracted to repetition, even as adults; we want the stimulus and the reward again and again, and in music we get it. Perhaps, therefore, we should not be surprised, should not complain if the balance sometimes shifts too far and our musical sensitivity becomes a vulnerability.

Oliver Sacks

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.

Denis Waitley

Age. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that remain by reviling those we have no longer the vigor to commit.

Ambrose Bierce

An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.

William Tecumseh Sherman

And I believe that you never be limited in what you do, so I like to do movies, I like to do television.

Harvey Fierstein

If Christ is God, He cannot sin, and if suffering was a sin in and by itself, He could not have suffered and died for us. However, since He took the most horrific death to redeem us, He showed us in fact that suffering and pain have great power.

E.A. Bucchianeri

Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.
