I’ve always put everybody else’s child first before my own health, before my own outfit, before my own time frame.

Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I have wasted my hours.

There are going to be good days and bad days. Bottom line.

Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.

He that rises late must trot all day.

To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That’s the whole point.

I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

The first wealth is health.

Even if we give parents all the information they need and we improve school meals and build brand new supermarkets on every corner, none of that matters if when families step into a restaurant, they can’t make a healthy choice.

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one’s self.

Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.

I’ve never been a hands-on dad. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but you can’t run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.

I love being busy.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I read to my kid, but I can’t stand reading.

I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I’ll have a window with a view.

When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body’s natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

Delay is preferable to error.

To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

Did you know there’s a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think that just being busy – running around in circles all day but not accomplishing anything – is the same as wasting your time? It’s frustrating to expend so much energy and time and not have any fruit from your effort!

Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.

To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?

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

You have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.

When you stop caring what people think, you lose your capacity for connection. When you’re defined by it, you lose our capacity for vulnerability.

What did I owe the rest of the world? Nothing.

I put cocoa butter all over my face and my iconic belly and my arms and legs. Why live rough? Live smooth.

Sometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.

Our lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children.

Ain’t nothing like a good cry.

I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.

After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.

My theory is 98 percent of all human endeavor is killing time.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it’s just the thing that every man wants – to have a son and heir.

Time is bunk.

I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?

Don’t just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump.

I saw a bank that said ’24 Hour Banking‘, but I don’t have that much time.

With the amount of money I have, it’s difficult raising children the way I was raised.

I’m gonna go hard no matter what because I gotta feed my family, and I gotta feed myself.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

I actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you’re trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you’re giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you’re trying to do?

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

We can’t form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.

Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.

Be pleasant until ten o’clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

I think a father is important for everyone. If you don’t have, then maybe not so much. In the world today, it’s possible that you grow up with only one parent in the family.

I don’t think my parents liked me. They put a live teddy bear in my crib.

I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.
