I’ve enjoyed all the parts of my career.

People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here.

I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

The way to know life is to love many things.

We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds.

One element of Madonna’s career that really takes center stage is how many times she’s reinvented herself. It’s easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It’s inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.

Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.

I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I’m very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I’m feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It’s gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.

Fun is good.

Not necessity, not desire – no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything – health, food, a place to live, entertainment – they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

I loved what I did. I could’ve been secretary of state for ever.

As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don’t get that.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

Nobody enjoys the ‚little show about nothing‘ humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

This has been my life for many years; one role feeds the other.

I’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

The only film I’ve enjoyed starring a wrestler was Mickey Rourke in ‚The Wrestler.‘

You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

The important thing is to be in love with something.

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

I grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.

It was 1996 and I was at a crossroads in my career. I had been working in Hollywood as a writer and was very unhappy. I had pitched an idea for a book some six months earlier, and the book packager, Joost Elffers, wanted me to write up a treatment for it.

The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.

In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.

Well, I don’t think there’s any need for people to focus on my career.

We are all pleased when our names are pronounced and spelled correctly.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go – that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

For greed all nature is too little.

I only want my work to make people happy.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‚I used everything you gave me‘.

I like surprises.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

If I could have worked from the time I was born until I was 18 and never had to work again, I would have done it.

Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.

I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.

However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.

I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing.

No man enjoys the true taste of life, but he who is ready and willing to quit it.

I mean, if you didn’t get it or if you didn’t feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change.

I’m proud to be an actor. See, as an actor, you live longer. Football players, the brain and all that stuff, ooh-eee, that’s not good.

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.

Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.

Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

I think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.

You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.

When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.

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

I believe God’s keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can’t give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it’s peace or joy or satisfaction.

I’ve found that men I’ve dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I’ve found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren’t competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been… challenging.
