The World is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.

I had become with the approach of night once more aware of loneliness and time - those two companions without whom no journey can yield us anything.

I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

I sacrifice in my love life and my social life but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it those that inspire us shrink it and habit fills it.

Everything comes in time to those who can wait.

My favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven't elected a new one. There's no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know I don't miss it.

As recent as the year 2000 we won elections by saying we shouldn't be the policemen of the world and that we should not be nation building. And its time we got those values back into this country.

Y'know you can't please all the people all the time... and last night all those people were at my show.

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

The senses deceive from time to time and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time somewhere someone said to themselves You know I want to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

I've got tapes that I'm so thankful that my father made - old reel-to-reel tapes. I've got a ton of those things at home. He kept those like fine diamonds I mean he kept them you know in a box and was very very careful of them you know.

We can always find something to be thankful for and there may be reasons why we ought to be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.

Let a nation's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and sufferings of those who survive.

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you're not sure about certain things talk to your friends that you trust and your family.

When I started out as a music journalist at the end of the 1980s it was generally assumed that we were living through the lamest music era the world would ever see. But those were also the years when hip-hop exploded beatbox disco soared indie rock took off and new wave invented a language of teen angst.

Doesn't matter whether it's a teen girl who's pregnant hasn't told her parents or an elderly couple dealing with one of them being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Those are real people to me. Those are the people I dealt with every single day.

The Teen Challenge ministry was born out of those humble early days of ministry. It now includes over 500 drug and alcohol rehab centers around the world even in Muslim countries. These include homes for girls and women addicts and alcoholics all which are reaching many.

If we as a nation are to break the cycle of poverty crime and the growing underclass of young people ill equipped to be productive citizens we need to not only implement effective programs to prevent teen pregnancy but we must also help those who have already given birth so that they become effective nurturing bonding parents.

Libraries function as crucial technology hubs not merely for free Web access but those who need computer training and assistance. Library business centers help support entrepreneurship and retraining.
