My gold, my money couldn’t stop cancer from appearing on my body. If they can’t save me, then I don’t need them.
Mr. TAIDS itself is subject to incredible stigma.
Bill GatesI’m not resigned, but I’m realistic too. The statistics in my case are very poor. Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long. And the other wager is, the part of the wager, it’s a certainty you’ll have a terrible time and you may wish you were dying because it’s an awful process.
Christopher HitchensI love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.
Dave GrohlChildren say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.
Joan of ArcWith the amount of money I have, it’s difficult raising children the way I was raised.
Adam SandlerCrowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource – the minds of our children.
Walt DisneyIt occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases – one was Alzheimer’s, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimer’s.
Terry PratchettAlthough modesty is natural to man, it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.
Jean-Jacques RousseauWhen I’m being funny, I try not to offend. I don’t think much of what I’ve done has been in really ghastly taste. I don’t think I have embarrassed many people or distressed them.
Kurt VonnegutI’m so old, I don’t buy green bananas any more.
Lou HoltzIf you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.
Dale CarnegieThe great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you’re the person who takes them to go poop!
Angelina JolieI particularly like Twitter, because it’s short and can be very funny and informative. It’s a little bit like having your own radio program.
Margaret AtwoodA child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.
Billy GrahamI was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.
Angelina JolieListen to many, speak to a few.
William ShakespeareThere used to be an old bad joke. I hope it’s not so much a good joke anymore. ‚Everybody’s from Scranton; no one’s in Scranton.‘
Joe BidenStand-up is my baby.
Kevin HartI had real plans for my next decade and felt I’d worked hard enough to earn it. Will I really not live to see my children married? To watch the World Trade Center rise again? To read – if not indeed write – the obituaries of elderly villains like Henry Kissinger and Joseph Ratzinger?
Christopher HitchensYou know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar.
George CarlinYou send a boy to school in order to make friends – the right sort.
Virginia WoolfI met Woz when I was 13, at a friend’s garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computers and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.
Steve JobsThe wish for healing has always been half of health.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaIn those days he was wiser than he is now; he used to frequently take my advice.
Winston ChurchillNo man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
Hunter S. ThompsonNever go on trips with anyone you do not love.
Ernest HemingwayIt is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThey are resilient children, but they are children, and as much as they need help to understand the hard truths in life, they also need what we all need – protection and love.
Angelina JolieMy next baby will be my new record.
Lady GagaThere is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.
Erma BombeckMy goal is to make everyone and anyone a Kevin Hart fan.
Kevin HartI’ve seen George Foreman shadow boxing, and the shadow won.
Muhammad AliI’ve always had to conquer fear when I’m on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It’s absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I’m okay. It’s like I’m out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.
Steven WrightGive every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
William ShakespeareScience and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.
Thich Nhat HanhNow that I’m a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.
Adam SandlerI don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Will RogersThe worst men often give the best advice.
Francis BaconThere is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man’s own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Francis BaconI had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.
Steven WrightI was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.
Woody AllenWhenever a fellow tells me he’s bipartisan, I know he’s going to vote against me.
Harry S. TrumanMarriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?
H. L. MenckenSleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia WoolfConnectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.
Bill GatesAmerica is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.
George W. BushMy husband’s a pediatrician, so he and I talk about parenting all the time. You can’t raise children who have more shame resilience than you do.
Brene BrownI have often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can’t get my wife to go swimming.
Jimmy CarterLet me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!
Golda MeirBe thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.
Will RogersIt is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.
Jimmy CarterI have an expression I use as I’ve gone around the world through my career: ‚You never tell another man or woman what’s in their interest. They know their interest better than you know their interest.‘
Joe BidenIt goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Erma BombeckI have never developed indigestion from eating my words.
Winston ChurchillI did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.
Bob UeckerFor me, often, there’s such a cloud of melancholia about knowing I’m going to have to leave my daughter on her own. I don’t know what age that is going to be, thank God. It just doubles me up in grief.
David BowieGeneral consultant to mankind.
George Bernard ShawI teach children to be winners.
Abby Lee MillerYou have a ready wit. Tell me when it’s ready.
Henny Youngman
