A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.

My father wasn’t around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, ‚Why me? Why don’t I have a father? Why isn’t he around? Why did he leave my mother?‘ But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, ‚I don’t know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?‘

I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.

The two things in the world we all share in this world are laughter and pain. We’ve all got problems. The levels of those problems vary, but we’ve all got problems. When you can take things that are painful and make them funny, that’s a gift – to you and your audience.

I’m not a bad person.

If you’re not careful to think and speak words of faith, worry will creep in, and it will not only steal your peace and joy, it will steal your ‚today.‘ The present is the greatest gift God ever gives us. So hold on to the peace that’s yours in Christ. Don’t let it go.

There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about if we let ourselves go there. But they really aren’t worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.

I think the word rich is all relative.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Every wall is a door.

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

How lucky Adam was. He knew when he said a good thing, nobody had said it before.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.

Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?

When you are young, you cannot imagine being disabled. You imagine you would conquer it somehow. As I’ve got older, I can imagine it; I can see how life narrows in. I feel compassion for my mother now.

I’ve found men are less likely to let petty things annoy them.

Fear is real, but so is love.

I have no human feelings.

I confused things with their names: that is belief.

If I’m in a political argument, I think I can, with reasonable accuracy and without boasting, put the other person’s side of the case at least as well as they could. One has to be able to say that in any well-conducted argument.

Comedians are sociologists. We’re pointing out stuff that the general public doesn’t even stop to think about, looking at life in slow-motion and questioning everything we see.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

This is not a bad life.

There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows?

Nobody enjoys the ‚little show about nothing‘ humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.

I think the idea of art kills creativity.

We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.

Don’t tell your problems to people: eighty percent don’t care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.

If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.

Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended.

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn’t care about suffering. I always did.

While there’s life, there’s hope.

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

Peace begins with a smile.
