We are wiser than we know.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIt took Simone a long time to understand why people want Daddy’s autograph. I’d tell her, and my wife would tell her, too, ‚People see Daddy in the movies, and they are excited to meet him.‘ But she couldn’t really grasp it.
Dwayne JohnsonMy justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.
Amy WinehouseOverall there’s going to be things I’m not great at.
Lando NorrisI love playing ego and insecurity combined.
Jim CarreyI’m on record that it didn’t really traumatize me to do away with some people.
Jim MattisIt creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.
EminemWhen we believe the best of people, we let go of each thing they do that is hurtful to us. And we choose to think things like, ‚I don’t believe they meant to hurt me.‘ ‚Maybe they’re having a bad day or don’t feel well.‘ ‚They probably don’t even realize how they sound.‘
Joyce MeyerNothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTo do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.

Aldous HuxleyAn intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.
Charles BukowskiI am not a self-help writer. I am a self-problem writer. When people read my books, I provoke some things. I cannot justify my work. I do my work; it is up to them to classify it, to judge.
Paulo CoelhoMy understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
BonoCan people who hunger so desperately for what other people have ever have enough?
Alice WalkerTo jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.
Winston ChurchillSeeing myself on the screen makes me cringe. I understand that I am that way – pouty.
Lana Del ReyI wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.
Albert SchweitzerI’ve always regretted that I never was able to talk openly with my parents, especially with my father. I’ve heard and read so many things about my family that I can no longer believe anything; every relative I question has a completely different story from the last.
David BowieOf course you can’t ‚trust‘ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‚trust‘ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants. Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is, quite literally, what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do.
Douglas AdamsI think my worst problem is actually living in the moment and understanding everything that’s going on. I feel like I’m in my own bubble.

Henry AdamsI understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.
Jurgen KloppI’m not intelligent. I’m not arrogant. I’m just like the people who read my books. I used to have a jazz club, and I made the cocktails and I made the sandwiches. I didn’t want to become a writer – it just happened.
Haruki MurakamiSongs for me are like a message in a bottle. You send them out to the world, and maybe the person who you feel that way about will hear about it someday.
Taylor SwiftThe American public’s a lot more sophisticated than we all give them credit for. And on complicated issues, I’m going to give them straight answers. And if it takes more than three minutes, I’m going to do it.
Joe BidenYou might be the funniest guy in the world, but if you don’t have anything to talk about, people are eventually going to gravitate towards the guy that’s actually saying something.
Kevin HartReactive people… are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior.
Stephen Covey‚Thank you‘ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.
Alice WalkerI think I lived those years very impersonally. It was almost as though I had erected someone outside myself who was the president’s wife. I was lost somewhere deep down inside myself. That is the way I felt and worked until I left the White House.
Eleanor RooseveltShowing off is the fool’s idea of glory.
Bruce LeeThe greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn’t intended.
Robert FrostWhen you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
Friedrich NietzscheI have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.
Marcus AureliusYou are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves.
Hermann HesseWhen I was two, a dragonfly flew near me. A man knocked it to the ground and trod on it. I remember crying because I’d caused the dragonfly to be killed.
Jane GoodallIt is a most delightful reflection that if I come to the throne of God in prayer, I may feel a thousand defects, but yet there is hope. I usually feel more dissatisfied with my prayers than with anything else I do.
Charles SpurgeonTo know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.
John RuskinI have already demonstrated, by crucial tests, the practicability of signaling by my system from one to any other point of the globe, no matter how remote, and I shall soon convert the disbelievers.
Nikola TeslaConfession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
Mahatma GandhiI don’t write letters anymore.
George H. W. BushThe brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous.
Carl SaganWhen you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
Lao TzuPeople should not make me out to be like Jesus; I don’t walk on water.
Jurgen KloppHe must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked.
VoltaireLet the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
Jesus ChristThe nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius CiceroWrite in such a way as that you can be readily understood by both the young and the old, by men as well as women, even by children.
Ho Chi MinhI’ve never had a divorce, but I’ve seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can’t write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I’m able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly PartonThough I do manage to mumble around in about seven or eight languages, English remains the most beautiful of languages. It will do anything.
Maya AngelouThe greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. A tree does not know itself to be wretched.
Blaise PascalIf you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia WoolfI think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.
Lando NorrisIf you understand the universe, you control it, in a way.
Stephen HawkingPeople respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‚We want peace, we want stability,‘ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.
Nelson MandelaI think it is a sin to look at another person as inferior to yourself because of race or because of ethnic background, and I think the greatest thing to do is to pray that God will give you love for them, and I do.
Billy Graham
