You know, I never trust people who don't laugh, who said, "I am serious" and act as if they put airplane glue on the back of their hands and stuck the glue to their foreheads. I think, "You're not serious; you're boring as hell."

No one can take the place of a friend, no one.

I believe in living a poetic life, an art full life. Everything we do from the way we raise our children to the way we welcome our friends is part of a large canvas we are creating.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.

My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.

My encouragement to you is to go tomorrow to the library.
