Ellen DeGeneres

Soul travel can be a general expansion of awareness and knowingness or conscious experience of the heavenly worlds.

Bob Hayes

Home is the place we love best and grumble the most.

Billy Sunday

A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.
