I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

Only when you give from the heart does it make the giving whole.

Stephen Richards

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.

Mark Twain

Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.

James Russell Lowell

I have a computer screen near my seat where I monitor the overall health of the vehicle and pick up any problems that might be occurring early on or once we see any kind of a malfunction or anything unusual that's happening, we can look at the data and figure out what that is.

Laurel Clark

Humor is an almost physiological response to fear.

Kurt Vonnegut

And all the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.

J.R.R. Tolkien

I was in the postseason twice and I'm thankful for that.

Ryne Sandberg

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.

Calvin Coolidge

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.

Thomas Carlyle

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

Jim Rohn

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.

Steve Jobs

People say you favor assassination, what do you think war is? Except that it's assassination on a much larger scale, a much more horrific scale.

John Bolton
