The will to win the desire to succeed the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

The apex of my civic pride and personal contentment was reached on the bright September morning when I entered the public school.

Early on the next morning we reached Kansas about five hundred miles from the mouth of the Missouri.

I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid so yes I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience how can it be that on a Monday morning you are useless?

In the morning I reach for the sports page.

I want to host a religious show. I'm sure nobody will be wanting the 11 o'clock spot on Sunday morning. I think we should really get some of our own preachers and preach that gay is good. And we'd have a great choir.

There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.

Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?

You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money compliments or publicity.

If there is no hell a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

I've never preached one sermon on money on just finances. I want to stay away from it.

You reach a point where you don't work for money.

I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music and listening to music and critiquing it my whole life.

I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.

Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals nay it is treachery to comrades.

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger every innovation as a toilsome trouble every social advance as a first step toward revolution and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.

Quite frankly Barack Obama knows what it's like to pay a mortgage and student loans. He knows what it's like to watch a beloved family member in a medical crisis and worry that treatment is out of reach. Barack Obama knows our struggles. And my friends he shares our values.

Mind you I've always been a very off-message type of fat broad one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.

The way that same-sex marriage should reach the federal level is that it absolutely should be decided by the Supreme Court as quickly as possible. It's a 14th Amendment issue. There's no argument about it.

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.

I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life.

I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria who were frightened of life who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
