Sure my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric wild people frequented our home: rock stars drag queens models bikers freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment.

Men are like the stars some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.

How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains at the huge waves of the sea at the long courses of the rivers at the vast compass of the ocean at the circular motions of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way you're ahead of the game.

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old his coat worn his cloak was out at the elbows the water passed through his shoes - and the stars through his soul.

I will love the light for it shows me the way yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Love knows not distance it hath no continent its eyes are for the stars.

I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars and already begin to have a new enjoyment.

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

When I see a good singer I get teary-eyed. Part of it is jealousy because all comedians are frustrated rock stars. That's a fact.

You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars.

A lot of stars don't have a sense of humor.

And you know being able to wear the stars and stripes when you step up on one of the blocks or you know when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play you know it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you.

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid no cook no swimming pool.

Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation.

For the past two years President Obama has promised our children the moon stars rainbows unicorns and universal health care for all. But the White House Santa's cradle-to-grave entitlement mandates are a spectacularly predictable bust.

Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.

Great men unknown to their generation have their fame among the great who have preceded them and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.

He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.

What is the good of your stars and trees your sunrise and the wind if they do not enter into our daily lives?

If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles.

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough you can see the stars.

Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars millions of them twinkling in the night sky all with a message of unity part of the very nature of God.
