We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.

A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

A mission statement is not something you write overnight… But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.

I think that when you’re making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

Where a man can live, he can also live well.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

In my normal life I’m a very unadventurous person.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don’t need it: if you are sick you should not take it.

It was a strike against me that I didn’t wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs.

It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.

I’ll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They’re too much fun.

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

My principles are more important than the money or my title.

Peace if possible, truth at all costs.

I’m a mama’s boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother. I won’t do a movie or a video that would bring disrespect to my mother.

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.

I don’t know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way – all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup – all the time. When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

As president, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as president, all you have to guide you are your values and your vision and the life experiences that make you who you are.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that’s where a lot of preachers‘ kids get off base sometimes. Because they don’t see the same things at both places.

I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things – such as traditional marriage – that, I think, express a community’s concern and regard for a particular institution.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

You can not divorce religious belief and public service. I’ve never detected any conflict between God’s will and my political duty. If you violate one, you violate the other.

I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel.

Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good… Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!

Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

Temptation is just the feeling that you’re the most independent person on planet Earth. That you know everything. That’s something that we all go through as a kid. Now, this lifestyle that I’m in, the same thing exists! But it’s 10 times worse, because everything is at my disposal. When you’re in the limelight, you can get anything you want.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

This way of life is worth defending.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

I don’t believe in killing whatever the reason!

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‚Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

The dieting wars have got to stop.

The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.

I’ve lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

I am the son of a freedom fighter, and a son of a freedom fighter automatically imbibes the value of democracy.

Honor means that a man is not exceptional; fame, that he is. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost.

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe amidst a real danger.

Within one’s own family, money is not the measure of things, unless the person is an absolute Scrooge. Only the most extreme kind of monster would put a price on everything.

I’m generous. I give good tips. It’s just – the way I live my life, ironically enough, is: I don’t want anything. I’m not a consumer. I don’t crave objects.

Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

Trust should be the basis for all our moral training.

Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.
