Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
Things do not change; we change.
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.
This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.

Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul & Mary
Had a bit of a flashback to elementary school last night when this song came on the local PBS station. What a great children's song...

Charles Schulz Quotes
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.
It doesn't matter what you believe just so long as you're sincere.
No problem is too big to run away from.
There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker.
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask why me? Then a voice answers nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.

Funny/Great Bob Newhart Quotes
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
It was a decision to work clean. I just prefer to work that way. I have no problem with comedians who don't work that way. There was a temptation in the early '70s to reconsider. I decided against it.
This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now.
When I started out in 1960, I thought it might possibly last a couple of years. I never expected it to last 42. I take great satisfaction in that longevity.
