QUOTES

I'm not a political person by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm very patriotic, and I love people. I never understood why we couldn't get along better. It's like the Bible says, ''There will always be wars or rumors of war,'' but that doesn't mean those of us who would love to see peace wouldn't like to see it be different.

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

“Leave something good in every day.”
