Tom Bodett Quotes

In the America I see from here, anything is possible - especially the impossible Picture Quote #1

Mine is not a story to tell struggling writers Picture Quote #1

People feel vulnerable when they travel. Nobody wants to be taken advantage of or talked into something they don’t want. Staying at Motel 6 makes you feel smarter. In fact, I think it actually means you are smarter, but I have no hard data to support that Picture Quote #1

Could the garment and appliance industries be in cahoots together, creating an artificial sock demand to keep us buying? Picture Quote #1

My work is still very much light-hearted, positive outlook, laugh at yourself. But it isn’t going to be the laugh-a-minute kind of thing that my early work was Picture Quote #1

I went to Alaska as a young man just looking for adventure. And like so many of us in the 70s, we found it Picture Quote #1

It’s not like Alaska isn’t wilderness - it mostly is. But most Alaskans don’t live in the wild. They live on the edge of the wild in towns with schools and cable TV and stores and dentists and roller rinks sometimes. It’s just like anyplace else, only with mountains and moose Picture Quote #1

I’m not an impersonator. I’ve only got one voice and only do one guy and his first-person essays Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Kids in Alaska don’t know they’re growing up on the Last Frontier. It’s just what they see on the license plates, and it’s something tourists like to say a lot because they’ve never been around so many mountains and moose before Picture Quote #1

For some people, you know, Garrison Keillor, Rush Limbaugh, really the stars, they’ve got a passion. They eat, drink and breathe radio, and I’m not like that. I used to think I wanted to be. But I need to be away from it, too, and that’s the difference, I think Picture Quote #1

You can make a new friend but you can’t make an old one Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh Picture Quote #1

In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson Picture Quote #1
