I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.

We live in a technological universe in which we are always communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.

I always want to have fun and be silly and be childish. I'm very childish. I am at my happiest when I am a child and I am just playing.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think.

Try to keep your mind open to possibilities and your mouth closed on matters that you don't know about. Limit your 'always' and your 'nevers.'
