I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
If you're OK with being clumsy, it's funny. But if you are super embarrassed, people are going to laugh at you.
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head.
I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.
The cost of college education today is so high that many young people are giving up their dream of going to college, while many others are graduating deeply in debt.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.
When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.
In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find — and I hear from other people that they agree — that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
I see harm reduction as a way of engaging people as part of that path to recovery.
