"My mother always told me it wasn't..." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“Politicians have to make unpopular decisions. Schwarzenegger is going to understand the nature of his job. I wish him good luck, he's going to need it. It's going to be difficult for him.”

“Everybody has certain things they wish they hadn't done in life. They wish they hadn't kicked their dog when they were ten or something. There are many things you can go back and have regrets about. I don't like doing that. But by the same token I do agree that when you get to a certain stage in life, you change. And you should change.”

“I'd like to be a bigger and more knowledgeable person ten years from now than I am today. I think that for all of us as we grow older, we must discipline ourselves to continue expanding, broadening, learning, keeping our minds active and open.”

“If I'm out to dinner with a group of friends, and somebody offers to pay for the check, I immediately reach for my wallet. Inside is a note that says, "Say thanks!"”

“Whether it's eight o'clock in the morning or eight o'clock at night, I always try to greet others before they have a chance to speak to me.”

“Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not when others stop.”

“My mother was the worst cook ever. In school, when we traded lunches, I had to throw in an article of clothing.”

“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother.”

“My mother married a very good man ... and she is not at all keen on my doing the same.”
