A year from now, you’re gonna weigh more or less than what you do right now.

There are some sick people in this world.

We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.

The problem is that for women, the average time is just over 14 minutes… men are left with about 12 minutes during which time they need to think of something to do!

Do you realize that you can’t play the game of life with sweaty palms?

You don’t need a rope to pinch a stranger’s butt.

If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.

I’m embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.

If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.

We teach people how to treat us.

I’m one of those that believes you can’t be one kind of a man and another kind of president.

You need to listen to your body because your body is listening to you.

You don’t need a pack of wild horses to learn how to make a sandwich.

I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there’s too much guilt.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.

It’s hard to see your own face without a mirror.

Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right.

Awareness without action is worthless.

You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you.

I think you’re running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, ‘Brace yourself honey, here I come!’

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There’s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent’s voice to resonate in the children’s ears.

My dad used to say, ‘You wouldn’t worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

The most you get is what you ask for.

Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way.

It’s better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.
