We are here for a reason. We all have a gift or gifts to share.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.

A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.

It's never too late - not now, not ever - for you to pursue your passion.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

True friends are those who love you not in spite of your faults and imperfections, but because of them.

It is dangerous to be so busy that you have no time to wait on God.

Johnny Sain don't say much, but that don't matter much, because when you're out there on the mound, you got nobody to talk to.

There was no Jace Wayland more real than the one he saw in her eyes when she looked at him.

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

Nevil Shute's On the Beach is no Christmas carol, but it seems to me a remarkably fine novel, one which I read, in the peculiarly repulsive phrase, with my eyes glued to the page.

An emaciated gospel leads to emaciated worship

Every person is born with a talent, and happiness depends on discovering that talent in time.

All I want is for people not to see me as this cartoon monster.

The Democrat Party of the 1980s chose the Soviet Union over Ronald Reagan, in Nicaragua, and in Moscow as well. Now, all of a sudden, they don't like Russia and they don't like the Soviet Union?
