I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.

I find it hard to believe that human beings are the crowning achievement of life on earth. Something better than us has to come along.

We believe in the dignity of man as an individual, whatever his race, colour or creed, and his right to better, fuller, and richer life.

We have to have an economy that is strong for everyone, working families who believe they can get ahead and give the children a better quality of life.

I don't believe in make-or-break moments in your life. If you screw something up, it can knock you down, but that only means you'll be better when you get back to where you were before.

If nothing else in life, I want to be true to the things I believe in, and quite simply, to what I'm all about. I know I'd better, because it seems whenever I take a false step or two I feel the consequences.

For two years, I'd lived in Silicon Valley, surrounded by other highly educated transplants with seemingly perfect lives. It's jarring to live in a world where every person feels his life will only get better when you came from a world where many rightfully believe that things have become worse.
