That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

My mother fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.

We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?

Our love, our gratitude, our admiration for our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families – all of that is bigger than any one party or any one election.

To a man of pleasure every moment appears to be lost, which partakes not of the vivacity of amusement.

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa’s leading organization – and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.

If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.

The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower.

I never write about the road. I never write about hotels or anything like that.

I am very strict about what I eat. I do not consume anything that my body does not require. It takes a lot of sacrifice and discipline. It wasn’t easy before but now its second nature for me.

The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.

I have a full and satisfying life. My work and my family are very important to me.

I listen to my mother, and that keeps me out of trouble. I’m a good son.

It’s not a real adventure when you have to pay for it.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.

I shall make that trip. I shall go to Korea.

Our inquiring friends and neighbors not of our faith can also catch the wave. We encourage them to keep all that is good and true in their lives. And we invite them to receive more, especially the glorious truth that through God’s eternal plan, families can be together forever.

My mother was Catholic, my father was Protestant. There was always a debate going on at home – I think in those days we called them arguments – about who was right and who was wrong.

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.

To be able to throw one’s self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman’s smile – that is happiness.

Training and resting takes up most of my time.

If I walked into the kitchen without washing my hands as a kid, I’d hear a loud ‚A-hem!‘ from my mother or grandmother. Now I count on other people to do the same.

What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

If you have a family mission statement that clarifies what your purpose is, then you use that as the criterion by which you make the decisions.

I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be.

When trouble breaks out, our men and women in uniform, they don’t just sit around thinking about it or talking about it – they act. They put on that uniform. They leave their loved ones behind. They go out there. They give orders. They follow orders. They do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Folks, you’re the reason that the automobile industry is back. Whether it was the wage freezes, the plant closures, folks, you sacrificed to keep your companies open. Because of your productivity, the combined auto companies have committed to invest another $23 billion in expansion in America.

After momma gave birth to 12 of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.

It seems like we wake up and it’s a race until you get to bed. It gets to you after a while and you think, ‚What the hell am I doing?‘

I’m not saying that people should stop flying. I’m just saying it needs to be easier to be climate neutral.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

Children sweeten labours, but they make misfortunes more bitter.

I don’t feel much pressure to fit in. I never have. I’ve always just wanted to do my thing. I have really good friends and good family, and if I don’t fit in somewhere else, I fit in at home.

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

We must use time creatively.

I did have two dads; one was a socialist, and one was a capitalist. I really decided I would rather be a capitalist.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Anyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.

When I have been travelling around to speak in different countries, I am always offered help to write about the specific climate policies in specific countries. But that is not really necessary. Because the basic problem is the same everywhere.

I like to do things quickly because I’m easily bored.

The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
