Real riches are the riches possessed inside.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

I’m not frightened of appearing vulnerable.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.

You have freedom when you’re easy in your harness.

If it’s going to come out eventually, better have it come out immediately.

Good intentions never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut.

Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors.

I’ve learned not to look at reviews. Early on, I did. I was always curious.

I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.

I think I could go away tomorrow. I’ve already accomplished something. It’s such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

There are phases in life which surface at times, and it makes you understand that despite you working hard, everything what you are doing is probably not enough. That’s when you need to look around, and beyond.

To me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It’s about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

You can’t have it all, all at once. Who – man or woman – has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

There are some Christian people who taste and see and enjoy religion in their own souls, and who get at a deeper knowledge of it than books can ever give them, though they should search all their days.

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.

I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.

I’m almost like three people. There’s me the, Dolly, the person. There’s me, the star. And then there’s me, the manager.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

I’ve never been reckless – it’s always calculated. I’m mischievous, but I’m calculated.

Playing in MLS was a great experience. It has boosted my confidence and I feel I have matured as a player.

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.

I realised a little bit to my astonishment that I can give a lecture for a thousand people, and there will be this tumultuous applause, so, you know, I have the feeling well, it can’t be all that bad.

The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for a time, leave us the weaker ever after.

On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

But by reading them again and again finally I was able to grasp the essential part. What emotion, enthusiasm, enlightenment and confidence they communicated to me! I wept for joy.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

Most people want to avoid pain, and discipline is usually painful.

Take the complications, rules, shoulds, musts, have tos, and so on out of your life. By uncomplicating your life and removing the trivial pursuits that occupy so much of it, you open a channel for the genius within you to emerge.

I’m sure like everyone else I’m not always the happiest if I don’t do a good job in quali or the race or whatever, so I think beating myself up sometimes makes me work harder.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.

First, I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll convince myself that I’m an actress.

What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

I still have mixed feelings about what growing up is – this thing that happens to everyone, so I’ve heard.

I never looked at my mantel and envisioned an MVP trophy sitting there. This is pretty crazy.

When I understand myself, I understand you, and out of that understanding comes love.

Self-talk, for me, has been the biggest thing in my life. A lot of us have a dialogue that is crap. It’s a crappy dialogue. We live in a world right now that is very external. Everything is very on the surface. Superficial. Everything. And what we’re telling ourselves is what we see on TV.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about if we let ourselves go there. But they really aren’t worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it.

Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else.

I came up from a difficult background.

In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind – in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.

Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences.

I still wanna rap better than everybody else, and I wanna say important things.

We human beings are strange creatures and still reserve the right to think for ourselves.

Live the life you’ve dreamed.

I’m totally myself.

The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.

People can cry much easier than they can change.

I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, ‚I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.‘

Our Creator expects His children everywhere to educate themselves.

The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline… because you need to be alone to find out anything.

It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
