They may not remember what you say.
But they will remember how you made them feel.

The idea of "Asian Chicken Salad" is pretty interesting. In Asia uncooked vegetables are traditionally only served as garnishes.

By no means is this meant to put down the West. The East is also guilty of creating & marketing food in international ways. "Singapore Fried Noodles" is actually a Hong Kong recipe and not found in Singapore.

I received a "Happy Holidays" email from a society for a deadly disease, asking for donations. It's the most subversive, guilt-inducing "Happy Holidays" greeting I've ever received.

"I'd respect you if you were black, brown, yellow, pink with blue stripes..."

- something I heard

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

- George Eliot (1819-1880) English Novelist

When someone is on the offensive never just back away. Backing away is never a good strategy in itself. Only back away if you will move or counter in some other way.

What work should people be doing? Making "Out of Africa" for $20 million, earning $19 million and winning at Cannes? Or, making "Deuce Bigalow" for $30 million and earning $280 million?

Caution: This show may be a suffocation hazard because you can't poke holes in my arguments!

- Stephen Colbert

Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

- Oscar Wilde

Yesterday he was a boy, and today he thinks he can ignore us?

I don't want my relatives thinking this. It's not something they've expressed, but I wonder if it's the case. I wonder if they interpret the long gaps of silence that way. I live far away.

I've flown over 200,000 miles just with United (and it's partners). That's 8 times completely around the world.

What's more interesting is that's only since I turned 18. Before 18 my mileage wasn't counted. On average, I more than circle the world each year!

Despite the concerns over the contribution of car exhaust to global warming, most carbon dioxide comes from smokestacks, not tailpipes.

The book, Coffee, Tea, or Me?: The Uninhibited Memoirs of Two Airline Stewardesses led to the portrayal of flight attendants as sex objects in advertisements for airlines.

In 1971 JWT ran a "Fly Me" campaign for National Airlines. I saw one of the posters. In it there are just the words, "I'm Cheryl", her face and "Fly me" at the bottom.

A huge number of hot dogs are consumed in NYC each year. Securing a spot for a hot dog stand outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art costs about $300,000 a year. How many must those stands sell each day just to break even?

Caffeine is present in over 60 plant species worldwide.

An ounce of dark chocolate can have more caffeine than an 8 ounce cup of green tea.

I have a bad habit of not answering questions directly. Maybe that's why I ended up picking psych & philosophy as my majors. I prefer questions that don't call for direct answers.

My world seems lighter now that I am not in possession of a 40lb weighted vest. There's a good feeling that comes when passing on objects that aren't personally important any more.

Someone thought I was a college junior and asked me if I was. When I looked at them funny, they then asked if I was a freshman. It's good and bad that I can pass for being 8 years younger than my age. Overall I am happy about it. Thank you genes! And martial arts.

Hard times and rough circumstances are not excuses for degrading others or allowing oneself to be degraded. In fact, they’re not excuses for anything, except to try harder.
