"Joys divided are increased."

“I'm a festive guy to begin with and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I went all out on this one costume. It's a ghoul that makes me approximately 10 feet tall when I wear it. I actually got an offer to work at a haunted house because the costume is so great, and I did it for about an hour and a half before I got too cold and had to quit to go inside. Michigan winters are no joke.”
“Don't be limited in your views with regard to your neighbor's virtue...You must enlarge your soul towards each other.”
“If you don't hire at least one or two people that are smarter than you are, then you're a terrible manager and I don't need you.”
“Any manager can do well in an expanding market.”
“Friends come in all sizes, take it from me! Golly gee, size doesn't matter, when you want some friendly patter from a pal who is true.”
“All that you need in the way of technique for drawing is bound up in the technique of seeing - that is, of understanding, which after all is mainly dependent on feeling. If you attempt to see in the way prescribed by any mechanical system of drawing, old or new, you will lose the understanding of the fundamental impulse. Your drawing becomes a meaningless diagram and the time so spent is wasted.”

“Nowadays, people in the entertainment industry can have a louder voice than politicians, and I think its important that they use that voice to say something positive or to give a voice to somebody thats had theirs taken away.”
“Michael Jordon may have been the best basketball player in history, but he couldn't have won six NBA titles without a team.”
