I used to watch 'The Waltons' and sob because my family was nothing like that. We had a cruel sense of humor in my family.

I have never been a pet lover or really craved the idea of having dogs.

It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.

Despite our very recent appearance on the planet, humanity combines arrogance with increasing material demands, even as we become more numerous. Our toughness is a delusion. Have we the intelligence and discipline to vigilantly guard against our tendency to grow without limit?

All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.

In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential.

For 13 to be unlucky would require there to be some kind of cosmic intelligence that counts things that humans count and that also makes certain things happen on certain dates or in certain places according to whether the number 13 'is involved' or not (whatever 'is involved' might mean).

Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!

I am thankful to all the love that I have received from my fans.

Photography is my passion. Whenever I get time, I click.

Everyone wants to dream about playing on Sundays, but does everyone want to work to get there? And once you get there, are you thankful, or are you just happy to be there? What's your next step? What's your next plan? Me? I want to be great.

Trust the process. If I can't trust you to go to class, how can I trust you on the field? If you want rings, want to go to the league, want to be great, trust the process.

It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.

I love really good food and I don't ever want to spend too much for it, but I like hanging out and having really good, tasty, interesting food.

A game is great, in my view, only if it can be played happily by a sane person of at least average intelligence for several hours a day for fifty years. Both pool and billiards qualify.

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.

Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.

It's easy to make a cue last a lifetime. Don't boil it or freeze it in the trunk of a car. Don't lean it against a wall for years. If you lose a game to a complete idiot, hit the edge of the table in anger with something other than your cue.

Until you walk a mile in another man's moccasins you can't imagine the smell.

Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.

Poetry, it is often said and loudly so, is life's true mirror. But a monkey looking into a work of literature looks in vain for Socrates.

With life and grandkids and the whole thing, every day is busy, but I'm so thankful to God that I'm still here.

Our redneck reputation back then was originally just because we had long hair. Back in the '60s and the early '70s, in the South that was kind of a no-no. At all the Army and Navy bases we'd play, we would get into fights with the soldiers over our hair. But I think our music overshadowed everything else.

The Atlanta Braves are really all that our children know about this crazy baseball life, and we are so thankful for this upbringing for them.
