Rahm Emanuel

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood, the best in a marriage, the kind of people we are trying to become.

Jay Garner

Never read a book that is not a year old.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Stop just cheering for others who are living their visions. Commit yourself to your own success and follow the steps required to achieve it.

Steve Maraboli

Truth is, we offered it to Tom Hanks, which pretty much every movie in America does, but Tom passed. Billy Bob said that Hanks recently called and said he's voting for all of us for Oscars, he loved the film.

Peter Berg

When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.

George Eliot
