God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.

I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.

God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.

All men are by nature equal made all of the same earth by one Workman and however we deceive ourselves as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

Part of me suspects that I'm a loser and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit never say 'I can't.'

I've come to recognize what I call my 'inside interests.' Telling stories. And helping people tell their stories is a sort of interpersonal gardening. My work at NBC News was to report the news but in hindsight I often tried to look for some insight to share that might spark a moment of recognition in a viewer.

The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed it is the purest of human pleasures.

You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.

Though I was excited about the Sojourner Truth play it was not reassuring to think that my entire future might depend on the success of that one show.

Sometimes when I'm going to sleep I think 'Oh God my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him or I might not and I wonder what he's doing and I wonder if he knows me.' I just always think that's so fascinating that even when you were two years old your future husband was out there somewhere.

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

The prospects for a coherent hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year as the poor waterlogged gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft funny clever melodies and they also make a lot of music for kids which is terrific but when you see them in concert they can rock the house.

It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.

There's also a certain rhythm to the way Jews talk that might be funny.

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.

The way taxes are you might as well marry for love.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

My parents and librarians along the way taught me about the space between words about the margins where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed in the friendliest way.
