Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

More From Norman Lear

Life is made up of small pleasures. happiness is made up of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. and if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything.

"why are breakfast food breakfast foods?" i asked them. "like, why don't we have curry for breakfast?" "hazel, eat." "but why?" i asked. "i mean seriously: how did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? you can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. but the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."

Success doesn't mean that you are healthy, success doesn't mean that you're happy, success doesn't mean that you're rested. success really doesn't mean that you look good, or feel good, or are good

It wasn't really touching to be young; it was touching not to be young, because you had less of life left. touching to be thirty; more touching to be forty; tragic to be fifty; and heartbreaking to be sixty. as to seventy, as to eighty, one would feel as one did during the last dance of a ball, tired but fey in the paling dawn, desperately making the most of each bar of music before one went home to bed.

It's just the stupidest law possible... you're just making criminals out of people who aren't engaged in criminal activity. and we're spending zillions of dollars trying to fight a war we can't win! we could make zillions, just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor. it's stupid.

I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. some of the good ones i have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive. people love to read stories. they like to know you as a real person who has your struggle, pain, success and failure, etc. one well-known example is jared fogle's weight loss story which made millions of dollars for subway. start to collect your stories from today and use them in your ad campaigns.

Thus thought i, as by night i read of the great army of the dead, the trenches cold and damp, the starved and frozen camp,-- the wounded from the battle-plain, in dreary hospitals of pain, the cheerless corridors, the cold and stony floors. lo! in that house of misery a lady with a lamp i see pass through the glimmering gloom and flit from room to room. and slow, as in a dream of bliss, the speechless sufferer turns to kiss her shadow, as it falls upon the darkening walls.

This kind of horror has become all too familiar to us. as parents, cindy and i offer our prayers to the memory of the slain children and ask that god ease the pain of littleton's suffering families, ... the students of columbine high school and children everywhere have a basic right to learn in an environment free of fear and violence. we must redouble our efforts to see that this is a reality.
