The true history of my administration will be written 50 years from now, and you and I will not be around to see it.

I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.

As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

Every man’s memory is his private literature.

When we look back on all the perils through which we have passed and at the mighty foes that we have laid low and all the dark and deadly designs that we have frustrated, why should we fear for our future? We have come safely through the worst.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for ten more years.

Once you get into this great stream of history, you can’t get out.

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

Last year we said, ‚Things can’t go on like this‘, and they didn’t, they got worse.

My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

Throughout my years in business, I discovered something. I would always ask why you do things. The answers that I would invariably get are: ‚Oh, that’s just the way things are done around here.‘ Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks very deeply about things in business.

I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

Shall I, that have destroyed my Preservers, return home?

In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.

The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you’re 16 can mirror the one you have when you’re 26. Life repeats itself.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.

Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

Time is compressed like the fist I close on my knee… I hold inside it the clues and solutions and the power for what I must do now.

For time is the longest distance between two places.

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

I can barely walk, but it’s a privilege to be able to move at all.

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day; that by honest work, I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time.
