We are not all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm.
Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.
Now the gossip must stop. Now I’m tired of getting sucked into your columns. Then you must sue me if you dare.
If you’re a giver, remember to learn your limits. Because the takers don’t have any.
Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.
I’m not wise, but the beginnings of wisdom are there; it’s like relaxing into – and accepting – things.

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
