The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of the friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome.

There is only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book it makes a very poor doorstop.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.

Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer sex raises some pretty good questions.

To be one's self, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity.

I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli.
