Everything is cause and effect. If you don't move, nothing will move with you, and nothing will move toward you.
He gave life to the breath- oxygen, a simple gas, he transferred into words, ideas, hope.
I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.
Life is what you put into it and how much you take out of it. You put in more than is expected, and you take out less than you want.
If I were overweight because I ate too much, I would have far more of a complex. I would know if I just stopped eating and showed a little discipline I would be thin. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about being short. You just gotta run with it.

Optimism is a cure for many things.
I discovered that I was part of a Parkinson's community with similar experiences and similar questions that I'd been dealing with alone.
I happen to be a Parkinson's patient. I'm not fearful of my condition or my future - but if someone is looking in my eyes for fear, then they see their own fear reflected back at them.
