When men hear women want a commitment, they think it means commitment to a romantic relationship, but that's not it. It's a commitment to not floating around anymore. I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life. Entrenched is awesome.

Take your own route, not the route everyone is using or taking. Create your own way; there is always traffic on the common route.

Take control of your mind and meditate

There's a lot of complacency in philanthropy. People figure organizations are trying to do good, and that's enough, even if the results aren't there. But that's wasteful and inefficient. It crowds out better programs.

It's appropriate for the Fed to gradually and cautiously increase our overnight interest rate over time.

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

We need a new health care architecture that will reduce costs, improve outcomes, and protect vulnerable persons.

I'm a bit of a loner, you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved.

I am enthralled until the last ball Djokovic hits, and the moment it is over and he is on his knees eating grass, I sink into my chair, cannot believe I have spent another fleeting fortnight of the few summers I have left caring about the outcome of contests I will have forgotten in the blink of an eye, and begin to question my sanity.

In addition to having a good partnership with a good doctor, you have to do some of the work yourself. Go online, read about it, and find out what you can tolerate.

A lot of R&B cats are doing a lot of auto-tune. Tyrese went back to the basics. I love classic soul music and Ginuwine. Ginuwine and Usher laid the foundation back in the '90s. There's no one doing that anymore.

I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something.

I think that can happen, that two people can love each other and not be able to get on at all.

The less I work, the happier I am. I discovered that, as most people discover at some point.

Age is not how old you are, but how many years of fun you've had.

Your ego is the only one that’s too proud to forgive. Your soul is ready.

In 1994, when I went back to Haiti from exile, we established a Commission for Truth and Justice and Reconciliation. I passed the documents to the next government, and I never heard about it again.
