In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.

There is something in me-I just can't stand to admit defeat.

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

I know that anybody who does all this and doesn't have to, everything thinks she's very driven. The truth is, I enjoy it all so! Can't it be that simple? I think it is! I don't feel overworked. I get a constant kick out of being heavily committed. Is that sick or something? God, what would I do sitting still?

Why let one high C ruin your whole evening?

Don't get me started on critics.

I can't be happy every day but I can be cheerful.
