I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.

If you stop struggling, then you stop life.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.

Everyone, no doubt, remains first and foremost a man of his own country and continues to draw from it his motive force.

Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

I’m not looking to get away from anything. I like what I’ve done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible.

If we’re really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what’s causing us to do what we do.

You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.

I use my celebrity status to inspire someone, to give them hope.

Do I have chocolate chip cookies? Yes, I do. Do I have mint chocolate chip milkshakes? Yes, I do. I love them. They are fantastic. But when I have them, they’re worth it. I earned them. I did something. I worked out super hard. I stayed clean on food.

You always have to remember that if you say something negative, it’s going to come back to haunt you.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.

You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.

A word after a word after a word is power.

I have promised myself that I’m going to do everything I can for as long as I can.

At the end of the day, I understand that life has road blocks, and life is like school – you’ll be tested; we gotta pass it.

True virtue is life under the direction of reason.

If I make music and people hate it, you know, whatever. I’ll die someday, and one day, they will too.

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I’m sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.

I think there are a number of things that you can do to encourage your kids‘ dreams, but I do believe in speaking by experience of having a lot of help along the way, stumbling in the past. We’ve all stumbled, and we certainly all deserve to get up and walk again.
