Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

You know, watching Dan Marino and Steve Young get nominated to the Hall of Fame… those guys are unbelievable and they did it for so long. I’d love to play like those guys, but there’s still a long way to go and a lot of growing.

No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.

Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

What the devil is the point of surviving, going on living, when it’s a drag? But you see, that’s what people do.

I sang a song at my sister’s wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.

Since I was 16, I’ve felt a black cloud hangs over me.

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.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering – and it’s all over much too soon.

Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

Life is better when people are working, happy, and spending money.

In seeking comfort, we generally find a quiet corner in life where there is a minimum of conflict, and then we are afraid to step out of that seclusion.

To do a dull thing with style-now that’s what I call art.

Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.

When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.

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

Love is only one of many passions.

Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They’re just braver five minutes longer.

Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

I’m drawn to bad romances.

Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment’s grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one’s life.

I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.

We all gonna die eventually from something or other, but don’t be a wimp. Put up a good fight.

My life has been very full.

Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.

Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that’s what I’m going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

The advantage of the emotions is that they lead us astray.

Anyone can be a Superman, but nobody can be Jackie Chan.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

When I was 8 years old, I saw ‚Raiders of the Lost Ark‘ in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of there and was so inspired. I loved the movie, and I knew I wanted to be that guy.

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Pennies do not come from heaven. They have to be earned here on earth.

Sometimes, I’m very embarrassed.

It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth are always happy.

People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.

Stories surge up out of nowhere, and if they feel compelling, you follow them. You let them unfold inside you and see where they are going to lead.

A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It’s a real emotional ride.

Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

If we’re going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.

God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.
