Day
(page 6)
Coffee has always been a significant part of my life. For me, it's a chance to start my day and gather my thoughts — it's fuel for my creative process.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.
No matter what the competition is, I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.
People are going to come into your life that need you, and being there for them makes the day worth living. People are going to come into your life that you need, and that's the really crazy thing.
Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.
Ethiopia didn't just blow my mind; it opened my mind. Anyway, on our last day at this orphanage a man handed me his baby and said, 'Would you take my son with you?' He knew, in Ireland, that his son would live, and that in Ethiopia, his son would die.

When you hold your baby in your arms the first time, and you think of all the things you can say and do to influence him, it's a tremendous responsibility. What you do with him can influence not only him, but everyone he meets and not for a day or a month or a year but for time and eternity.
It occurred to me in my junior year of high school. I got my first letter from a big college. I still have that letter to this day — a letter from Indiana.

I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.
The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. It's the best part of the day.
Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
Some days, 24 hours is too much to stay put in, so I take the day hour by hour, moment by moment. I break the task, the challenge, the fear into small, bite-size pieces. I can handle a piece of fear, depression, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness, illness. I actually put my hands up to my face, one next to each eye, like blinders on a horse.
Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.
