My main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

I just am committed wholeheartedly to theatre with no intermission.

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell – you see, I have friends in both places.

Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.

Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.

I tend to feel if people say they’re going to do something, they will, if given the chance.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.

What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?

I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me – spiritually and financially.

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

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

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

The real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion’s roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq’s future is not.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.

A saint is tolerant and is attentive to the pleadings of other human beings, not only to spoken messages but to unspoken messages as well.

‚Suffering should not make us bitter people,‘ my mother once said, ‚it should make us better comforters.‘ Young people need to hear this from those who have walked before them, because someday they’ll be walking those same steps, but there may not be anyone following behind.

Our work is never over.

I’m committed to the fight game.

The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Mad or glad, Mr. Reagan is head over heels in love with Mrs. Reagan and can’t even imagine a world without her – He loves her.

Marriage is the death of hope.

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.

As a medical doctor, I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying, suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

Love… it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.

I don’t let even a day go by wherein I don’t give at 100 per cent.

Proud 2 Pay – that’s something that distinguishes me, that’s something that defines me, and we’re going to keep that going.

Animals are my friends… and I don’t eat my friends.

It seems like F1 is kind of going down that route, opening it up more to the public and letting them know what is going on, what you do, instead of just driving and going home.

It’s a tragedy, in a way, that Americans are brought up to think that they cannot feel for other people and other beings just because they are different. They think they’re different. It’s very limiting.

I want to marry Arline because I love her – which means I want to take care of her. That is all there is to it. I want to take care of her. I am anxious for the responsibilities and uncertainties of taking care of the girl I love.

Once you have six children, you’re committed.

The best way to keep one’s word is not to give it.

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

I like playing for the purple and gold. This is where I want to finish up.

Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.

When you stand for something, you’ve got to stand for it all the way, not half way.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

We pity in others only the those evils which we ourselves have experienced.

Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.

I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.

I’ve never dropped anyone I believed in.

The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

A promise must never be broken.
