I delayed my father’s funeral because of cricket.

I always dreamt of holding the bat and winning games for India. That was my inspiration to take up cricket.

The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.

My sisters are stronger and my brother’s bigger than me.

Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.

Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf; is better than a whole loaf.

All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

My father used to wear the same pants for like a week.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage, or of principle.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

Most women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.

When in doubt tell the truth.

Eight years involved with the nuclear industry have taught me that when nothing can possible go wrong and every avenue has been covered, then is the time to buy a house on the next continent.

Leadership is a choice, not a position.

I’ve always wanted a baby.

I have always believed in evolving a consensus before taking any major decision.

We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children’s children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.

Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That’s what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He’s a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.

I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead.

One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.

A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.

She got her looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.

Our will is always for our own good, but we do not always see what that is.

Christmas is the perfect time to celebrate the love of God and family and to create memories that will last forever. Jesus is God’s perfect, indescribable gift. The amazing thing is that not only are we able to receive this gift, but we are able to share it with others on Christmas and every other day of the year.

I have 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they keep me young.

I don’t know what’s better gettin‘ laid or gettin‘ paid.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.

My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

My mom was on the United Way group that decides how to allocate the money and looks at all the different charities and makes the very hard decisions about where that pool of funds is going to go.

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

Being flooded with information doesn’t mean we have the right information or that we’re in touch with the right people.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

It is our future on the line, and we must at least have a say in it.

I imagine I will spend my days traveling from country to country to visit our children, who I expect will live around the world.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

Don’t swap horses in crossing a stream.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

I have a brother and sister; my mother does not care for thought, and father, too busy with his briefs to notice what we do. He buys me many books, but begs me not to read them, because he fears they joggle the mind.

My friends ask me if I want more kids, and I always say yes, I want more; it’s the best thing you can have in your life.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

My mom was a terrible parent of young children. And thank God – I thank God every time I think of it – I was sent to my paternal grandmother. Ah, but my mother was a great parent of a young adult.

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Who will take responsibility for raising the next generation?

The safest course is to do nothing against one’s conscience. With this secret, we can enjoy life and have no fear from death.

The common question that gets asked in business is, ‚why?‘ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, ‚why not?‘

My grandfather was smart and had a whole lot of pride. He didn’t speak a terrible amount, but you could tell there was a ton on his mind – like a quiet acceptance of how life had turned out.

In matters of truth the fact that you don’t want to publish something is, nine times out of ten, a proof that you ought to publish it.

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.

I mean, families are weird.

I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.

The risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.

For me, already being part of a single parent household and knowing it was just me and my mom, you’d would wake up times and hope that the next day you’d be able to be alongside your mother because she was out trying to make sure that I was taken care of. But all I cared about was her being home.

As a leader, you have to have the ability to assimilate new information and understand that there might be a different view.

He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

The land of my fathers. My fathers can have it.

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.

If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.
