My philosophy is very simple: when in doubt, take a bath.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.

One of the most important milestones we'll all hit along the way is the moment when we finally own our unique point of view and realize how priceless it is.

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.

Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.

Grace is available for each of us every day - our spiritual daily bread - but we've got to remember to ask for it with a grateful heart and not worry about whether there will be enough for tomorrow.

Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.

Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.

Big dreams can’t be developed alone

When you have a definite purpose of life, the universe will reveal the path to attainment.

I have met so-called leaders who showed fear in a moment when strength was required, and they give leadership a bad name.

I lived with the only continuity, day to day, of the me-me-me.

I will not cut benefits. I want to enhance benefits for low-income workers and for women who have been disadvantaged by the current Social Security system.

I usually save these answers [on the institution of marriage] for my Barbara Walters Special, but she didn't call so I've never been engaged, despite popular belief.

The want of a thing is perplexing enough, but the possession of it, is intolerable.

You can always tell somebody's sense of humor by if they like this movie or not.

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.

There's a lot of madness going on out there. Artists can only be what they are, but the industry only goes with what they think people wanna hear.
