If I made a list of the people I admire, Mom would probably fill up half of it. She could do anything and everything.

My new house is going to have wall-to-wall awards!

I'm gonna be something one of these days.

Boys, they can't take my refrigerator now. They'll never get my car now. I paid cash for 'em and they're mine, and I'm keepin' 'em!

I'm having surgery today to have my face cleaned up. But it will take some fancy stitching to make me all beautiful again!

It seems that every time I stick my neck out, I get my foot into something else.

I'm not gonna ride home in the car. I'll wait for Randy. I think I'll get home quicker.

Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple thats why it is so comlicated.

Bias and prejudice are attitudes to be kept in hand, not attitudes to be avoided.

Above all things, I must not get angry. If I do get angry I knock all the teeth out of the mouth of the poor wretch who has angered me.

Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.

My Catholic faith is the foundation of my worldview, and my judicial duty is governed, from beginning to end, by the law.
