I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.

I feel as if I’m in on a pass and am damn lucky to have whatever I have. It could all be taken away in a second.

Prime-time network television has become an island without religion in an ever-more-religious America.

Emperor Sid Caesar is gone to eternity himself now. He takes with him the gratitude of every one of us who first learned the relief of laughter from this genuinely great performer.

We are mortgaging ourselves to foreigners on a scale that would make George Washington cry. Every day – every single day – we borrow a billion dollars from foreigners to buy petroleum from abroad, often from countries that hate us.

Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

Nothing happens by itself… it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.

It isn’t the rich people’s fault that poor people are poor. Poor people who get an education and work hard in this country will stop being poor. That should be the goal for all poor people everywhere.

The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.

I was four years old then, and I think it must have been the next summer that I first heard the voices.

I am an old-fashioned preacher of the old-time religion, that has warmed this cold world’s heart for two thousand years.

I’ve been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.
