Now I'm fighting cancer, everybody knows that. People ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how's your day, and nothing is changed for me.

You suffer the blow, but you capitalize on the opportunity left in its wake.

Michael J. Fox

TV is a fickle business. I'm only good for the length of my contract.

That's the strangest thing about this life, about being in the ministry. People change the subject when they see you coming. And then sometimes those very same people come into your study and tell you the most remarkable things. There's a lot under the surface of life, everyone knows that. A lot of malice and dread and guilt, and so much loneliness, where you wouldn't really expect to find it, either.

Marilynne Robinson

They whom truth and wisdom lead, can gather honey from a weed.

William Cowper

But what you could perhaps do with in these days is a word of most sincere sympathy. Your movement is carried internally by so strong a truth and necessity that victory in one form or another cannot elude you for long.

Hjalmar Schacht

Diane Kruger

Edward W. Howe

Take all the fools out of this world and there wouldn't be any fun living in it, or profit.

Josh Billings

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

W. Clement Stone

Fortune favors the prepared mind.

Louis Pasteur

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

Thomas Jefferson
