I have long recognized a link between fitness and mental health and I think we need to encourage young people to take part in sports and team activities because we know it has such positive results.

If the secret sorrows of everyone could be read on their forehead, how many who now cause envy would suddenly become the objects of pity.

Italian Proverb

The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? You may say the wisest thing you can, old man, -- you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind, -- I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that.

Henry David Thoreau

Experience is a private, and a very largely speechless affair.

James Baldwin

When the voice of your friend or the page of your book sinks into democratic equality with the pattern of the wallpaper, the feel of your clothes, your memory of last night, and the noises from the road, you are falling asleep. The highly selective consciousness enjoyed by fully alert men, with all its builded sentiments and consecrated ideals, has as much to be called real as the drowsy chaos, and more.

C.S. Lewis

Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.

Sandara Carey

A certain degree of neurosis is of inestimable value as a drive, especially to a psychologist.

Sigmund Freud

Contemporary American children, if they are old enough to grasp the concept of Santa Claus by Thanksgiving, are able to see through it by December 15th.

Roy Blount, Jr.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

Charles Dickens

I guess if people couldn't profit from war I don't think there would be war.

Lily Tomlin

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth we fully flower in heaven.

Russell M. Nelson

If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that

William Shakespeare
