“There is a spirit in every home, a sort of composite spirit composed of the thoughts and feelings of the members of the family as a composite photograph is formed of the features of different individuals.”

No rich man can walk through the eye of a needle.

We’d never get anything fixed to suit us if we waited for things to suit us before we started.

The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.

Did you ever think how a bit of land shows the character of the owner?

Let your joy scream across the pain.

You venture into the unknown land because that is where your heart will take you. In the end, it is not what you want to do, it is something you have to do.

Life begins at eighty.

A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.

The sweetness of life lies in usefulness, like honey deep in the heart of a clover bloom.

In order to thoroughly enjoy anything, one must feel the absence of it at times.

Let’s be cheerful! We have no more right to steal the brightness out of the day for our own family than we have to steal the purse of a stranger.

It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature.

Home is the nicest word there is.

I believe we would be happier to have a personal revolution in our individual lives and go back to simpler living and more direct thinking.

There’s no great loss without some small gain.

People used to have time to live and enjoy themselves, but there is no time anymore for anything but work, work, work.

I was in the hockey team in school, played football. One of the challenges for me was to make the team feel better. It helped me evolve, so batting at different positions was never a problem.

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

I like lip liners over lipsticks. I have so many of them from so many different brands, so I just pick the color that works.

Everybody has different taste and everyone’s favourite song is different and that’s great.

I sing in five or six different voices that are all part of me. Its not contrived.

I think my whole living in vain involves me. I know that the biggest help for me is to help someone else in so many different ways.

The way you love may look different than the way others love you, it doesn’t mean it’s less.

There’s lots of sins in this life. We’re all sinners. If you don’t believe in God and you don’t believe in the scriptures, then we are on a different page.
