“ASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, ‘Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!”

If you want to get things you can’t buy in a store, you have to do things never thought of before.

Reading can take you places you have never been before.

Being crazy isn’t enough.

You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.

I’m afraid that sometimes you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ’cause you’ll play against you.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

They say I’m old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!

Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

Don’t live to please everyone. Embrace those who enjoy your company and to hell with the haters.

Congratulations! Today is your day!

My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn’t make it up!

For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Don’t conform for the sake of pleasing others. Mold yourself into the person that you want to be.

We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

The weakest man is the one who is able to correct his moral defects, but doesn’t take action.

Poetry is an act of peace.

We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.

We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.

Anything lost, can be found again, except for time wasted. A vision without action is merely a dream. Action, it’s the grind, it’s the hustle, it’s the persistence.

Whites would accuse you of causing trouble when all you were doing was acting like a normal human being instead of cringing.
