“ I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.”
“ You can turn painful situations around through laughter.”
“ I can't be a doctor, I can't be a lawyer, I can't be a teacher, I can't be a father, I can't be a husband, I can't be a friend, I can't be a human being, if I don't have a sense of humor.”
“ I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I will be there.”
“ The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence.”
