"It's all experience; not anything original"

-- Francisco Moreno

“Next year I want to be better than this season, and the year after that, better than the year before.”
“It is such a special feeling to win a grand prix.”
“We have a tradition of passing our history orally and singing a lot of it and writing songs about it and there's kind of a calling in Irish voices when they're singing in their Irish accent.”
“People change, not necessarily in negative ways. Sometimes goals and intentions in life aren't aligned. It's just choices we make in life. Otherwise, why aren't we with the person we were with in seventh grade?”
“God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.”
“The government has created a nation of paper criminals. People can be put in jail and lose civil rights and liberties through bureaucratic procedures.The only thing that is keeping you out of jail is government goodwill.”
“I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.”
“How far I've come! I'm the same girl and yet not the same. I wonder if it's always like that? Folks keep growing from one person into another all their lives, and life is just a lot of everyday adventures. Well, whatever life is, I like it.”
