He knows my limitations and where I’m a good wife and a good mom.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

Remember that no relationship is a total waste of time. You can always learn something about yourself.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

Your entire life only happens in this moment. The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end.

I had no bad moment in my relationship with Dortmund. Not one second.

At one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country, rarely seeing people. I was in that state of oneness with creation and it was as if I didn’t exist except as a part of everything.

Go to you bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know.

Money and women are the most sought after and the least known about of any two things we have.

I think it’s healthy for a person to be nervous. It means you care – that you work hard and want to give a great performance. You just have to channel that nervous energy into the show.

I’ve missed out on a lot of things, going out with friends.

He who knows himself is enlightened.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

Power does not change you, it unmasks you.

As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.

I don’t regret anything.

I was extremely lucky that I had two great wives. It sounds a bit funny to say that, but it’s absolutely true.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure – the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

I’m not a natural performer or exhibitionist. When I was younger, I hated the focus, and it made me feel strange.

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

I am who I am and I say what I think. I’m not putting a face on for the record.

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

When we get to wishing a great deal for ourselves, whatever we get soon turns into mere limitation and exclusion.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

I want people to draw strength from me.

I don’t do things for the response or for the controversy. I just live my life.

Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.

I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one’s death, one dies one’s life.

There are few things that we so unwillingly give up, even in advanced age, as the supposition that we still have the power of ingratiating ourselves with the fair sex.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

I was ill, and everyone could see it but me.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture.

I always wanted to be a father and thought it would be great, but it just took the right woman and the right time to make it all happen.

Vanity is but the surface.

The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Egos are never nice. I have been a victim of it a lot of times in my career. Whenever I have used it, I have failed.

A woman can bring a new love to each man she loves, providing there are not too many.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

I have more friends in New York than Paris.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.

I’ve never been a boyfriend kind of girl.

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

Learning about climate change triggered my depression in the first place. But it was also what got me out of my depression, because there were things I could do to improve the situation. I don’t have time to be depressed anymore.

I knew that I was ‚interesting‘ at 18 because I was aware that I could get away with doing things on stage.

We all have done something unethical.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.

I always entertain the notion that I’m wrong, or that I’ll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.

We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

My dad was never married. He was kind of a rolling stone. But he was never disrespectful. At the same time, even though he had women in his life when I was a kid, there wasn’t any consistency.

I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.

I’ve always felt quite singular, even as a child. That I must stay on track to keep my purpose.
