Coaching wouldn’t be for me. No, certainly not.

We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

I’ve had a few semi-toxic relationships, but it’s not what I look for when I’m seeing someone.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

If you sit there and have that mentality of ‚triple down on what you’re good at,‘ you’re never going to grow. You’re always going to stay the same.

Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.

There’s a difference in thinking you are a champion and knowing that you are.

Never complain. Never explain.

Almost everybody is born a genius and buried an idiot.

Such as we are made of, such we be.

I think everybody’s trying to get to a place in themselves where they conquer what they was afraid of; they achieve some of their life goals, kept their word about what they were trying to do.

If you’re always under the pressure of real identity, I think that is somewhat of a burden.

Thoughts are mental energy; they’re the currency that you have to attract what you desire. Learn to stop spending that currency on thoughts you don’t want.

I’ve always felt like there was a lot of hype around me even when there wasn’t. I felt like everyone was talking about me even when no one was talking about me.

I try to be the same person I was yesterday.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Wisdom allows nothing to be good that will not be so forever; no man to be happy but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful that is not master of himself.

It’s really hard to guarantee things in life. I guarantee if you get up in the morning and you work out, and you work hard, you will have a better day – 100% guaranteed.

The stories are not autobiographical, but they’re personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I’ve learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

Every man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults.

Leaders who fail to prune their pride will meet demise. That’s not a guess, it’s a guarantee. With pride, it’s not a matter of ‚if‘ we will fall, but ‚when.‘ There are no exceptions.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going – I have no post-satisfaction.

I think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.

Many years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.

Freedom is what everyone wants – to be able to act and live with freedom. But the only way to get to a place of freedom is through discipline.

At some point in time, you definitely have to go drama. Not to say that you’re going drama just because everybody else does it. You do it to challenge yourself. You do it because, naturally, in the profession of acting, you want to show growth. You want to say that you take the craft seriously.

I don’t look at myself as a commodity, but I’m sure a lot of people have.

When you’re older you want to learn from other people.

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.

What’s the greater risk? Letting go of what people think – or letting go of how I feel, what I believe, and who I am?

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

Choose people who lift you up.

One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.

Doubt in my tradition is something that is very helpful. Because of doubt, you can thirst more and you will get a higher kind of proof.

He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

I had a lot of resistance, and not just to fame. I was always conscious of not changing.

I feel you’re in charge of your own situation.

If your inner life is not producing what you would like on the outside, don’t be discouraged… just be willing to change.

As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.

Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.

The risk for me would be in not taking one – that’s the only thing that’s really risky for me.

I think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo.

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

No man was ever great by imitation.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.
