What I love best in life is new starts.

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

Man’s real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

At some point in time, you definitely have to go drama. Not to say that you’re going drama just because everybody else does it. You do it to challenge yourself. You do it because, naturally, in the profession of acting, you want to show growth. You want to say that you take the craft seriously.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.

I love getting out of my comfort zone.

You simply have to accept that your demons are a part of you.

We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay – and rise!

I’m not the most patient of people.

‚Worry‘ is a word that I don’t allow myself to use.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.

There is no harm in repeating a good thing.

I’m all about evolution. I’m the first person to judge myself.

Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it’s a shield.

Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.

I never say I am a guru.

Nothing on ‚Relapse‘ and very little on ‚Recovery‘ was produced by me.

Education is what you learn after you leave school.

Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.

When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out.

I mean, I feel like you get more bees with honey. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated in my life.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

Doubt grows with knowledge.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I think I’ve got wiser.

I want to represent… to the kids to draw strength from me. So they can see that everybody goes through something, but you can rise up and do your best. Just try.

I fear that many a man’s good resolutions only need the ordinary fire of daily life to make them melt away. So, too, with fine professions and the boastings of perfection which abound in this age of shams.

A lot of people cry and complain and put their hand out and beg. It never goes well.

It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.

If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is.

When you’re young, you keep reading new writers and you keep changing your mind about how you ought to sound.

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he.

Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?

He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything.

Whatever role I play is a positive role; it’s a strong role. Never negative.

Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!

I didn’t always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

I don’t tell people, ‚You’re okay the way that you are.‘ That’s not the right story. The right story is, ‚You’re way less than you could be.‘

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

I have goals.

Power is the measure of the degree of control you have over circumstances in your life and the actions of the people around you. It is a skill that is developed by a deep understanding of human nature, of what truly motivates people, and of the manipulations necessary for advancement and protection.

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself.

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
