Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.

Oliver Goldsmith

Let him that would move the world, first move himself.

Socrates

There are no good girls gone wrong, just bad girls found out.

Mae West

Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime.

Wilferd A. Peterson

What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our Commander-in-Chief, what we heard today was a political broadside from our Campaigner-in-Chief.

Paul Ryan

The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.

Al Neuharth

When someone tells me there is only one way to do things, it always lights a fire under my butt. My instant reaction is, I'm going to prove you wrong!

Picabo Street

Smiles form the channel of a future tear.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

All of human unhappiness comes from one single thing: not knowing how to remain at rest in a room.

Blaise Pascal

Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.

Douglas Horton

You hear the best stories from ordinary people. That sense of immediacy is more real to me than a lot of writerly, literary-type crafted stories. I want that immediacy when I read a novel.

Chuck Palahniuk

I cook everything. I love Mediterranean cooking, I love Asian cooking. I do lots of Japanese noodles.

Ted Allen
