Hubert H. Humphrey: “You cannot go around and keep score. If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you’ll find out that you’re a very miserable person.

Sugar: “You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.
But that’s all.”
Austin O’Malley: “Those that think it permissible to tell white lies soon grow color blind.”
