“A man can make up his mind quickly when he has only a little to make up.”

“Delay is preferable to error.”

“To Stay Focused in Life: You can't know everyone You can't do everything You can't go everywhere We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.”

“It is foolish to lay out money for the purchase of repentance.”

“For 24 years of my adult life, by choice I weighed well over 200 lbs. I say by choice because you see I have never accidentally eaten anything.”
