When I wake up in the morning, I feel like a billionaire without paying taxes.

The measure of a man is in the lives he’s touched.

Work? I never worked a day in my life. I always loved what I was doing, had a passion for it.

Another friend hired me to open doors for him in the moving and relocation business. I did that for 10 years, am still doing it. And I do some work for the Cubs, in community relations.

The Cubs are gonna shine in sixty-nine.

We all hope. It's what keeps us alive.

I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.

It is not the events in our life that define our character, but how we deal with them.

I can wade through contrast and give birth to desires without yielding my Well Being.

A miracle, my friend, is an event which creates faith.

For whom he means to make an often guest, One dish shall serve; and welcome make the rest.

The other world is hidden in this world. The Buddha is asleep in the Zorba. It has to be awakened. And nobody can awaken you except life itself.
