"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for."

"The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson."

"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for."

"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for."

"Somebody says, 'Do a Tom Bodett, a folksy kind of thing,' and it sounds like something out of 'Hee Haw,' very insulting. They turn wry humor into disparaging sarcasm, and you get what amounts to insulting advertising."
