Sometimes when you get disappointment it makes you stronger.

I realized I could run after finding out that my dad used to run and it gave me the morale that if he did it then maybe I could also run.

We know that the next several generations need a better world to live in, which can only be a post-Obama World.

Love was a dance floor where everyone you loved left a mark behind.

The American people need no course in philosophy or political science or church history to know that God should not be made into a celestial party chairman.

A lot of those who let you down are those who seemed the closest to you.

If I can't get a mental image from the song, I won't sing it.
