How do you expect to arrive at the end of your own journey if you take the road to another man's city? How do you expect to reach your own perfection by leading somebody else's life? His sanctity will never be yours; you must have the humility to work out your own salvation in a darkness where you are absolutely alone.

Cee Lo GreenYou have a country that is 20 percent liberal, 40 percent conservative. You have a country where maybe 22 percent have faith in government. If you're a liberal, it's just going to be tough. And you should just expect that. And it's tough for people on the right, too, because they don't get what they want either if you're, say, a libertarian. So, you have got the country sort of against you. And, nevertheless, you have a president.

Julie WaltersThe United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war.

Confident and unafraid, we labor on - not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace.

I think itโs much better to go with the flow and embrace your body, whatever shape it is, and just be happy.
