So when I was 13 I basically left home and never returned and lived at home again. I would come home for a week at Christmas and two weeks in the summer only.

A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.

Whatever you do do it with all your might. Work at it early and late in season and out of season not leaving a stone unturned and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.

One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil to think is to do. The crossed arms work the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.

I had just turned 10-years-old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and plunged America into World War II.

The war in Iraq clearly has not turned out in the way that was hoped.

No dance has ever turned out the way I thought it would because I trust enough that I can start something with some ideas and then it takes itself somewhere.

You may be right that people say: 'You know what we had Obama. He was inexperienced. The guy had great rhetoric sounded good looked good but has turned out to be an utter disaster. I want someone where I have confidence and credibility that they're up to the job and that I can trust what they tell me.'

I considered becoming a priest very seriously. I wanted to travel the world. By the time I turned 16 I realized I was only in it for selfish reasons. And more importantly I didn't want to sacrifice the ladies!

The attention of a traveller should be particularly turned in the first place to the various works of Nature to mark the distinctions of the climates he may explore and to offer such useful observations on the different productions as may occur.
