I’ve had a lot of success; I’ve had failures, so I learn from the failure.

Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

‚Victory Lap,‘ even the title. It’s the accumulation of trial and error; that’s what I represent; trial and error.

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

Your joy comes from how you think, the choices that we make in life.

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‚em, ‚Certainly I can!‘ Then get busy and find out how to do it.

I still wanna rap better than everybody else, and I wanna say important things.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.

The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.

If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.

Happiness doesn’t come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.

At first, I was called a quack, a charlatan, and worse, year after year, in Australia, England and the United States, by men who simply refused to believe that a nurse from ‚the bush‘ could devise a treatment which succeeded where they had failed.

The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

I’m happiest with my family around me.

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.

When the first big paycheque with ‚Dumb And Dumber‘ hit, I went: ‚Gosh, I wonder if this will affect my performance. Will I do a take and think, was that worth $7 million?‘ But that never happened. If anything, it made me rebel against that thing when people who get rich start playing it safe.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
