Face your fears and doubts, and new worlds will open to you.

It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.

Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.

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.

I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not. I’m really confused now.

For some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction. That was when I broke out of my shell at school, because I really didn’t have any friends or anything like that and I just kind of was going along, and then finally I did this zany thing, and all of a sudden I had tons of friends.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.

A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway.

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.

Humble people ask for help.

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.

Vanity is great motivation, to be fair.

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

All of us should be on guard against beliefs that flatter ourselves. At the very least, we should check such beliefs against facts.

I suppose for a very long time I’ve been trying to understand how it is that people might make sense out of their lives and make meaning and make their lives meaningful in the face of the trouble that life brings.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.

You don’t sign up for a divorce when you get married. It’s very painful. But it’s taught me a great deal about myself.

Commit yourself to a mighty purpose.

Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good… Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.

If you are against yourself, you will never reach your highest potential. And when you criticize yourself, you’re criticizing God.

It’s very unnatural to be someone for so many people. But of course it’s very nice.

I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.

As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.

What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside.

When I came into this industry, I was never afraid to be myself.

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

In search of my mother’s garden, I found my own.

One’s real life is so often the life that one does not lead.

The book you don’t read won’t help.

They would not find me changed from him they knew – only more sure of all I thought was true.

I know I want to always do the best I can.

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.

Nothing new here, except my marrying, which to me is a matter of profound wonder.

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.

You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.

Without discipline, there’s no life at all.

I think I have a dualistic nature.

Forty is when you actually begin even deserving to be on stage telling people what you think.

If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging I’ll get it nipped, tucked or sucked.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

It’s not fun to get out of bed early in the morning. When the alarm goes off, it doesn’t sing you a song: it hits you in the head with a baseball bat. So how do you respond to that? Do you crawl underneath your covers and hide? Or do you get up, get aggressive, and attack the day?

It is our choices… that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

What the country needs is dirtier fingernails and cleaner minds.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
