A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
My smile has been my ticket to the world. Smiling releases the same feel-good hormones you get jogging. Caring for your lips and gums is important. I brush my teeth morning and night, alternating toothpaste brands. In addition to flossing, I use a Water Pik to massage my gums and remove food particles.
There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view.
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it — but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
The prayers of a lover are more imperious than the menaces of the whole world.
One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.

Yes, education alone is unlikely to lead to employment without economic reform to address the demand side in much of the developing world.

Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.
We owe our World War II veterans — and all our veterans — a debt we can never fully repay.
World War II had a very important impact on the development of technology, as a whole.
