So I started chanting when I was nineteen which was about twelve years ago and it really had a huge impact on my outlook happiness and general creativity.

It's up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you're not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can't rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.

Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.

It's enough to indulge and to be selfish but true happiness is really when you start giving back.

I start to think there really is no cure for depression that happiness is an ongoing battle and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

Out of Ireland have we come great hatred little room maimed us at the start. I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic heart.

I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation.

In the summer we graduated we flipped out completely drinking beer cruising in our cars and beating up each other. It was a crazy summer. That's when I started to be interested in girls.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts some are craftsmen some take a little time out to travel and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936 and it was a monopoly and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.

Well again a gun sale database is just trying to get the Department of Justice to keep track of the guns that they're purchasing and supplying to drug dealers and murderers. I mean wow. Come on let's get the government under control before we start restricting the rights of - innocent citizens.

Getting the government to put money into social programs run by religious institutions is a practice that started during the Clinton years when Bill Clinton advocated the AmeriCorps program.

Gun control means control. It means control for the government and the government starts controlling the people.

A good day is one where I can not just read a book but write a review of it. Maybe today I'll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I'm crepuscular.

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking perhaps I am not good enough.

Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders saying to myself 'It's going to be a good day!'.

I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.

A singer starts by having his instrument as a gift from God... When you have been given something in a moment of grace it is sacrilegious to be greedy.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute every breath is a gift from God.

Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
