"I know that you think you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I used this as my h.s. senior quote back in 1974. It's not mine, I saw it in on a poster, but my thought process is in there for sure.

Believe in the power of your dreams.

Don't ever give up, on your dreams.

I have been dreaming for seven years about moving to TV and it has come true!!!!

We learn from history, that we do not learn from history.
An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less.
A man never becomes an orator if he has anything to say.

Those we love, don’t go away. They walk beside us everyday.

A friend is someone who dances beside you in the sunlight and walks beside you in the dark times or shadows.

Friends fill your life with joy, your soul with sunshine and your heart with love.

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Laugh your heart out, dance in the rain.. Cherish the moments, ignore the pain.

Live, love, learn. Forgive and forget.. Life is to short to live with regret.

Life is too short to worry if your socks match.

I had a prof in college that must have believed in that saying. One day one of the students noticed and pointed out to him that he had two completely different socks on. When Prof. Statts looked down and saw it, his response was... "OMG, I got another pair just like them at home!"

If your job interferes with your fun, quit your job...

From my grandfather, who had 2 full careers in his lifetime. First as a NYC fireman, then as a "runner" on Wall Street. To him there was no such thing as a sick day.
