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?

Furniture should always be comfortable. And always have a piece of art that you made somewhere in the home.
With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.

Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits — we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.

When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
You'll be free or die!
I've always believed in a rainbow diet. As many colors and foods as you can eat, the better, because if you focus on one food, there's bound to be a report that comes out that says, 'Broccoli actually... ' So I mix it up a lot.
