My favorite moments are when everyone is laughing.

Everybody has to look at his or her own footprint and do the best they can. It's not about being perfect, it's about doing something. If we're looking for perfection, we'll never, ever get there.

Start locally and build. Start small and grow. Start in your house, then move to your school, your book club, your gym, your church, your temple, your city.

Everything we know and love is at risk if we continue to ignore the warnings.

A great dinner must include not only yummy food, but good conversation.

I am so grateful for after-school snack time, when I light a candle, pour some tea, slice some apples, and get to listen in on my kids' highs and lows of the day.

A successful dinner is one that lasts a while and one where everyone leaves happy. It's a meal where we didn't just wolf food down, rather something else happened at the table. That is the goal.

God knows whatever comes your way, in any given circumstance.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

I changed my name from Gail to Gayle in seventh grade because I liked to make a loopy 'y.

I don't have any influences, any heroes, it's just me.

Your nature is to keep quiet. You came from silence and you have to return to silence... you are dancing only for a little while you see... a little while you are dancing.

In turbulent times, in times of great change, people head for the two extremes: fundamentalism and personal, spiritual experience.

I feel like all Londoners relate more to New York - L.A. doesn't feel like a 'city' city. It's like a sleepy town.

We have our ambitions [in Dortmund Borussia], and of course I would love to win some titles after some years of finishing second or losing finals.

That within us which seeks to know and to progress is not the mind but something behind it which makes use of it.

We can't want an education for kids more than they want it for themselves.
