I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important others not and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

I told the President I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them they are not going to sit down and talk.

As I travel across the country speaking about MS perhaps I can offer others comfort and hope.

When one takes action for others one's own suffering is transformed into the energy that can keep one moving forward a light of hope illuminating a new tomorrow for oneself and others is kindled.

I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers If I belittle dogs and mothers.

A person who no matter how desperate the situation gives others hope is a true leader.

Now I look at where I am now and I know what I wanna to do. What I would like to be able to do is to spend whatever time I have left and to give and maybe some hope to others.

Pessimists are the people who have no hope for themselves or for others. Pessimists are also people who think the human race is beneath their notice that they're better than other human beings.

I hope that posterity will judge me kindly not only as to the things which I have explained but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.
