A good wife is someone who thinks she has done everything right: raising the kids being there for the husband being home trying to do it all.

Managing is getting paid for home runs that someone else hits.

Most people if you live in a big city you see some form of schizophrenia every day and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home.

The way to work with a bully is to take the ball and go home. First time every time. When there's no ball there's no game. Bullies hate that. So they'll either behave so they can play with you or they'll go bully someone else.

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read or go out to dinner with someone or talk to someone I love or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.

One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

Sending Paris Hilton to jail for being the most loathed celeprosy lesion in the history of the species seems like a happening idea at first - forty-five days at Century Regional Detention Center is so the new thirty days at Promises Malibu! But it sets a dangerous precedent to jail celebs just because someone hates them.

I am intrigued by inanimate objects. They're a piece of history someone's statement and ideas of life.

All in all for someone who was immersed in fascinated by and dedicated to flight I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.

Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history people would gather around whether by the fire or at a tavern and tell stories. One person would chime in then another maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.

The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

If it's really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house for health insurance someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.

There's definitely evidence that capitalism at its most ruthless rewards psychopathic behavior. When you look at the worst corners of the American health insurance industry or the sub-prime banking market it really feels like the more psychopathically someone behaves the more it's rewarded.

The fact is if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill to end the bailouts cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.

I seem to be thinking rationally again in the style that is characteristic of scientists. However this is not entirely a matter of joy as if someone returned from physical disability to good physical health.

If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible which I do including dental and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie.

But if you believe in Christ and that your main goal with your life is supposed to be to honor Him and do His will then you don't have as much pressure as someone who bases all their happiness on whether they're a movie star.

Aye I'm tellin' ye happiness is one of the few things in this world that doubles every time you share it with someone else.

I never was someone who was at ease with happiness.

I have my moments. Ever since I was a boy I never was someone who was at ease with happiness. Too often I embrace introspection and self-doubt. I wish I could embrace the good things.

To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.

You take away all the other luxuries in life and if you can make someone smile and laugh you have given the most special gift: happiness.

I think making mistakes and discovering them for yourself is of great value but to have someone else to point out your mistakes is a shortcut of the process.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.
