stupid people doubt
Have you ever heard the phrase, it is better to keep your mouth closed and have people wonder if you are stupid than open it and remove all doubt? (Hakim al Harbi)
book writing publishing
There's a lot more to publishing a book than writing it and slapping a cover on it.
people trying want
I'm a big believer in free enterprise. If people want to try it, then go for it.
memories school trying
I have such bad memories, sitting in the back of a classroom, being told, you know, everybody is going to read a paragraph, and skipping ahead to my paragraph and being mortified and trying to read it enough times so that I wouldn't stutter and stammer, getting called on, even in high school.
spring heart night
Killing Lincoln is a must-read historical thriller. Bill O'Reilly recounts the dramatic events of the spring of 1865 with such exhilarating immediacy that you will feel like you are walking the streets of Washington DC on the night that John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. This is a hugely entertaining, heart-stopping read.

I think the more avenues that open up when people want to publish, the better. Some of the authors that want to jump ship from the traditional houses and go on their own, you know what? Good luck. It's going to be a lot tougher than you think.
football school kids
And when I go around and talk to schools, what I tell the kids are, first of all, you have to accept each other's differences. Some of you are going to be a crappy football player, some of you are going to be a great mathematician. Whatever it is, accept each other's differences and help prop each other up.
needs
It's what every writer needs: a daybed.
doctors stay-positive wells
My doctors warned me repeatedly that if you don't stay positive, you don't do well,
political world groups
It's this upside-down world that we live in where we afford political correctness to the most intolerant group of individuals on the planet.
