A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the w...
Most of the people I worked with in my old job were pretty cool. We used to go out drinking after lights out and the less pleasant members of staff would be the topic of our pub discussions. We had a laugh. Nothing too damning. No one called anyone a...
If only you and I (or you or I) doesn't go and die before we have a chance to meet! And yet, if we did no doubt there would be some good and loving reason for it. I am (except in bad moods) more convinced of that all the time. We shall meet and be ha...
Beyond the wall of the unreal city … there is another world waiting for you. It is the old true world of the deserts, the mountains, the forests, the islands, the shores, the open plains. Go there. Be there. Walk gently and quietly deep within it. ...
And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for the health care reform passing just a few months before t...
Rufus T. Firefly: [to Trentino] Now, how about lending this country twenty million dollars, you old skinflint? Ambassador Trentino: Twenty million dollars is a lot of money. I'd have to take that up with my Minister of Finance. Rufus T. Firefly: Well...
Seedy Guy in Park: That's a hell of a way to treat a vet, man. Bill Foster: You're an animal doctor? Seedy Guy in Park: No, a vet. A veteran. I was in 'Nam, man. Bill Foster: What were you - a drummer boy? You must've been 10 years old. Seedy Guy in ...
Alonzo Harris: You got a kid, right? Jake Hoyt: Yeah, I got a little girl. Alonzo Harris: I've got five. All boys. You ever need a son, you let me know. I'll hook your old lady up. I can't miss. Jake Hoyt: Can we not talk about my family? Alonzo Harr...
Carl Fredricksen: [to Russell] Now, we're gonna walk to the falls quickly and quietly with no rap music or flashdancing. Russell: Uh-huh. Carl Fredricksen: We have three days, at best, before the helium leaks out of those balloons. And if we're not a...
Ben Wade: You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said "we're going back East to start over". So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train statio...
We don't know predestined ways, or what future might behold, someone leaves,someone remains, and new things replace the old. We don't know a thing for sure, what's today,is there tomorrow? Yet,somehow we still endure, through those moments filled wit...
Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine!

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top.
This day is the most recent set of events to define you. Every day changes your life. Every last one.
I don't care where we're going; I'm gonna wear a suit all day, every day.

I drive girls crazy because I might call them 20 times in one day and then the next day not once.
