"You learn the most when you’re out on the edge."

-- Jim Whittaker

“My father was a Methodist and my mother was a Baptist.”
“Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.”
“Itâ€™s not easy remembering the good times.”
“Once you believe that God is speaking directly to you, there is no discussion.”
“A deal of the world's sound happiness is lost through Shyness.”

“The American actor is very lucky... Because so little is asked of him.”
“Simple ignorance has in its time been complimented by the names of most of the vices, and of all the virtues.”
“I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life. No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality.”
