“I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.”

A person’s a person, no matter how small.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

I am weird, you are weird. Everyone in this world is weird. One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love.

All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you’ll be quite a lot!

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who’ll decide where to go.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

Everything stinks till it’s finished.

Unless someone like you comes around, things will never change.

Only you can control your future.

Kid, you’ll move mountains.

Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

Poor empty pants with nobody inside them.

I’m sorry to say so but, sadly, it’s true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!

If someone has offended you, insulted you, or disappointed you, let it go! If you are remembering all the ways you have been hurt or forgotten, let it go! Ask yourself, what good does it do for me to hold on to this?

An insult directed at the wicked is not to be censured; on the contrary, the honest man, if he has sense, can only applaud.

Many people are target people. Once when Louis B. Mayer insulted me I poured a glass of water over his head.

When I was a boy, I was taught never to use insulting expressions like, ‘I’ve been gypped,’ or, ‘He welshed on the deal.’

If you are capable of submitting to insult you ought to be insulted.

The being who patiently endures injustice, and silently bears insults, will soon become unjust, or unable to discern right from wrong.

Do not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.

It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one’s self-respect.
