I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard.

Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

Even now, if I am thinking about spending a lot of money on clothing or furniture, I think 'I can't spend so much money on one thing; my poor old Daddy could have raised his family five years on that!'

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

I remain totally convinced that if we can do one more simple thing to help kids and adults to learn more, it is to inspire them to read more.

I tried the Scarsdale diet and the Stillman water diet (you remember that one, where you run weight off trying to get to the bathroom).

When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
