I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

Many people look at me and think they know me but they don’t at all. This is the real me. I am a humble person, a feeling person. A person who cares about others, who wants to help others.

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

It’s honestly true that money means nothing to me.

Modesty forbids what the law does not.

Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.

I’ll never tell a lie. I’ll never make a misleading statement. I’ll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I’ll never avoid a controversial issue.

If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.

It’s good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that’s where a lot of preachers‘ kids get off base sometimes. Because they don’t see the same things at both places.

There is no index of character so sure as the voice.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.

The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.

It’s not about changing people; it’s sometimes about changing a situation. How can we build an even better situation for them?

When 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.‘

Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.

My dad was very intelligent, had a very strong personality. I was amazed with my father.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.

I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.

The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.

Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

In ‚Huckleberry Finn,‘ I have drawn Tom Blankenship exactly as he was. He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had.

I can’t very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.

Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.

Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.

Teach me to feel another’s woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.

Action is character.

Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.

I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do.

What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.

I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.

I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

Humanitarianism consists in never sacrificing a human being to a purpose.

Although designers continue to dream of ‚transparency‘ – technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt – both creators and audiences actually like technologies with ‚personality.‘

Understanding is a two-way street.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.

There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but a hatred of all injury.

Taste is the only morality. Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

If anything, we should feel sorry for the people who want us to feel bad about ourselves, because they are the ones struggling for approval. In middle school, bullies tortured other kids because they thought it would make people like them more.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

I’m not the most patient of people.

With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child. You have the courage to say it because you are not afraid of losing anything, because you know that understanding and love is the foundation of happiness. But if you have fear of losing your status, your position, you will not have the courage to do it.

I’ve never been a jealous person, and I’ve never felt built up by someone else’s failure – that’s a cheap thrill.

America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

You have a nice personality, but not for a human being.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

You’ve all seen over the last eight years what President Obama means to this country. He is the embodiment of honor, resolve, and character – one of the finest presidents we have ever had.

The kindness that’s been shown to me, by doctors as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life.
