is no substitute for hard work.
My approach to cutting spending as president, is to do a ten percent across the board cut of all federal agencies, and then ask each of my new agency heads to find another ten percent by drilling down. That's what you do in business to come up with approximately 20 percent cuts for the first fiscal year budget.
Herman Cain
I had everything I'd hoped for, but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me.
Ellen DeGeneres

I'm a Mommy's Girl - the strongest influence in my young life was my mom.

Men should be saying I want to become a woman. The world would be a far better place if more men wanted to become women, than women wanted to become men.
Albert Halsey
Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it. When people's dogs and chicks are lost they go out and look for them and yet the people who have lost their hearts do not go out and look for them. The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius (Mengzi Mengtse)
Do not turn away a poor man...even if all you can give is half a date. If you love the poor and bring them near you...God will bring you near Him on the Day of Resurrection.
Muhammad
The things a man sees when he ain't got a gun.--Watson the Caretaker
Stephen King
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Pablo Picasso
You can be self-empowered and still learning about how you think about things daily.
