Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don't look so, while someone sad will look sad. The most common reaction is, 'How can you be depressed?

I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
I grew up very differently than a lot of other people in my hometown in Mississippi. But I can't imagine my life any other way.

Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
A lot of people are crazy, cruel and negative. They got a little too much time on their hands to discuss everybody else. I have a limited amount of energy to blow in a day. I'd rather read something that I like or watch a program I enjoy or ride my damn motorcycle or throw back a couple of shots of tequila with my friends.
One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.
I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.
