Maintain a natural gait even if you shit your pants
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.
Wearing cheap clothes or driving an old car doesn’t make you broke. You got a family to feed not a community to impress.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times…I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.
A man should only work 4 hours a day so he may have time to devote himself to the arts and sciences.
It’s okay to be a little fucked up in the head. We all are. It’s only when you’re fucked up in the heart that makes you a piece of shit.
One of the things I can’t get my hands on is something like “Mothers’ Clubs”, where instead of reading a book and walking in nature with their babies, they sit and talk about vomit and nappies and burping with other like-minded people and get nowhere. I think it bothers me a little in the women’s area.
My articles were based on something I wanted to change. Everyone has the right to a decent life, and I thought it was important to give vulnerable people support and confidence. I was brought up to respect other people.

The pill is one of the biggest advances I’ve seen.
I knew we had to drive on cobblestones, but I didn’t know they had thrown them down from a helicopter.
When you get as old as I am and no longer have a husband or dog, and the children have long since left home, you can sit and get a little wiser by thinking. Then it’s time to edit your memories and start looking at your life again. First come the regrets, then come the wrongs you’ve done, mistakes you’ve made – and all the things you can sit and brood over if you’re already in a bad mood. But you can also understand people and contexts in a new way.
Love is like a fart. If you have to force it, itøs probably crap.
In a rich man’s house, there is no place to spit in his face.
If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.
You can beat 40 scholars with one fact, but you cannot beat one idiot with 40 facts.
An amazing breathlessness arises because we fill our lives with emptiness and Facebook. In a discussion about the empty calories of Facebook, someone close to me said with great seriousness: “I have 190 friends on Facebook.” Then I replied: “Yes, but hardly one of them will pick up your coffin the day you leave here.” Why not use the time for some fewer and real friends in the real world.
If you only want to see dog shit, then there is dog shit.
In the past, we learned to cope with challenges ourselves. Today, a lot of people younger than me are not resistant to the vicissitudes and emotional challenges of life. If you’ve been told all your life that it’s the others who should spoil you and keep you free of problems, you’re probably a very sober person emotionally.
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.
No matter how many grains of gold I serve you, you keep eating oatmeal, and I can’t become my problem.
Even when your life seems most monotonous, what you do is always of real value — and importance to your fellow men.
