Dallas is a great city, and it's worth fighting for.

A faint smell of lilac filled the air. There was always lilac in this part of town. Where there were grandmothers, there was always lilac.

But there is so much more to do for the city we love... a Dallas with roads as strong as our businesses, parks as beautiful as our children, a downtown as tall as our imagination.

Buying a book is not about obtaining a possession, but about securing a portal.

In many ways, our campaign this year will be the same as last time: We're still going to focus on fixing up basics and cleaning up ethics at City Hall.

Now it's time to focus on basics for people in our neighborhoods... and real ethics reform at City Hall.

The city has to do what any citizen or family does, when you have a dream. You tighten your belt. You sacrifice some luxuries. Above all, you don't waste a dime.

The first book we fall in love with shapes us every bit as much as the first person we fall in love with.

Dallas is a positive, get-it done city.

There is no greater prize than a quiet, peaceful mind.

Can you do it? When the time comes? When the time comes there will be no time. Now is the time. Curse God and die.

Each of us is a universe of our living cells.

Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

Have you noticed that the cleverest people at school are often not the ones who succeed in life?

A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair.

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.

I'm an eternal optimist with a small degree of cynicism.
