"How
do you inspire respect for something? By giving thanks, by doing it.
We have to do that. We have to be thankful. Two things were told to
us: to be thankful, so those are our ceremonies, ceremonies of
thanksgiving. We built nations around
it, and you can do that, too. And the other thing they said was enjoy
life. That's a rule, a law - enjoy life - you're supposed to. I know
you can only do as much as you can do and then when you do that, you're
supposed to get outside and enjoy life. Don't take yourself so
seriously."
