Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

I'm nuts and I know it. But so long as I make 'em laugh, they ain't going to lock me up.

I left home because I was hungry.

Our principles are the springs of our actions. Our actions, the springs of our happiness or misery. Too much care, therefore, cannot be taken in forming our principles.

I'd have avoided some of the pain if I could. Anyone would. But I wouldn't have missed knowing any of the people-even the ones whose leaving hurt most. In fact, the only thing I'm sorry about is that I didn't meet one particular guy, a clown named Joe Skelton. You know, he sure picked the right profession. I mean, a clown's got it all. He never has to hold back: He can do as he pleases. The mouth and the eyes are painted on. So if you wanta cry, you can go right ahead. The make up won't smear. You'll still be smiling. . . .

I don't need glasses, but I've just reached the age where curiosity is greater than vanity.

God's children and their happiness are my reasons for being.
