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

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!

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.

If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.

In my world, everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.

I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Unslumping yourself is not easily done.

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

Remember me and smile, for it’s better to forget than to remember me and cry.

Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.

I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you.

We are all connected. When others are down, we help the fallen.

Just be nice to people and be someone people want to work with because if people don’t like working with you it’s just not going to work out.

The power of delicacy is the power of simplicity and elegance.

The way you treat yourself is how the people around you will treat you. 

Courtesy is a small act but it packs a mighty wallop.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
