Real living is living for others.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.

The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.

It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me.

May you live all the days of your life.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.

The world would be so lonely, in sunny hours or gray. Without the gift of friendship, to help us every day.

Invisible tears are the hardest to wipe away. Just let it out, my friend.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.

Some people are so afraid do die that they never begin to live.

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Good writers are in the business of leaving signposts saying, Tour my world, see and feel it through my eyes; I am your guide.

Family is the most important thing in the world.

We called him Tortoise because he taught us.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

People must not do things for fun. We are not here for fun. There is no reference to fun in any Act of Parliament.

It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.

You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
