So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.

Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.

Bob Dylan is like an alien on this earth, and I love him! I cried when I saw him play live because I was so close to him.

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

It’s human nature to gripe, but I’m going ahead and doing the best I can.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you’ve got.

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.

It is not God’s will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

I’ve been fortunate to have had the life I had prior to Hollywood. I wasn’t starving; I was going to eat the next day.

I’ll die a crazy old man!

My whole life is a theater piece.

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I’m going to be my best right now. That’s what faith is all about.

It is natural to die as to be born.

You have enough people against you… be for yourself.

For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right.

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.

A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

I made my first white women friends in college; they loved me and were loyal to our friendship, but I understood, as they did, that they were white women and that whiteness mattered.

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

I can’t remember what made my dad take us karting for the first time, I can’t remember really. I was into motorsport by then and I knew everything, and every driver, it was around 2009, 2008. That’s when I first properly knew about Formula One. Those were the days.

I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other – and we still are.

I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.

Nature teaches us that tens of billions of light years may have passed, and life in all of its expressions has always been subjected to an incredible combination of matter and radiation.

A good thing to remember is somebody’s got it a lot worse than we do.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

He who hath many friends hath none.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I’m upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Life’s short. Anything could happen, and it usually does, so there is no point in sitting around thinking about all the ifs, ands and buts.

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.

Men always want to be a woman’s first love – women like to be a man’s last romance.

Like every parent, when you start your family, your life completely changes. And you completely live for someone else. I find that the most extraordinary thing. Your life is handed over to someone else. From that moment on, they come first in every choice you make. It’s the most wonderful thing.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you.

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

I never read one hateful thing said about me by some 12 year old. So I got to live an actual life. And I’ve kept that mentality. Just because there’s a hurricane going on around you doesn’t mean you have to open the window and look at it.

You can’t be in love with a Google search.

I do love the films I’ve done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we’re trying to make people laugh and I’m very proud of that.

There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.

Live your life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift. There is nothing small in it. Far the greatest things grow by God’s law out of the smallest. But to live your life, you must discipline it.

Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

My wife and I love each other very much.

Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don’t accept it, it’s their loss.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about.

What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?

The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that’s true of everyone, don’t you?

Your most important work is always ahead of you, never behind you.
