I was a gift to my mother. She was a remarkable person. God or nature, or whatever those forces are, smiled on her, then passed me the best of her.

I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be.

True 'joy' is the difference between just amusing ourselves to death and creating 'meaningful' pleasure.

History passes the final judgment

A person doesn't have to change who he is to become better.

I defend myself by improving myself.

I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.
