A good time to laugh is any time you can.

Putting people in a room and strapping wires to their wrist to find out if I make them tingle when I'm telling them about Beirut is a long way from Edward R. Murrow.

if you don't want to get old, don't mellow.

'These boat people,' says the government of Hong Kong, 'they all want to go to America.' Well, I swear I don't know why, do you? I mean, take Vietnam. Why would any Vietnamese come to America after what American did to Vietnam? Don't they remember My Lai, napalm, Sylvester Stallone?

Always remember to set a place at the table of life for the unexpected guest.

I think laughter may be a form of courage.

I believe in tomorrow and I will be part of it.
