I’m living in the present, thinking about the past, hoping for the future.

I really, truly believe that writing comes out of the body; of course, the mind is working as well, but it’s a double thing and that doubleness is united. I mean, you can’t separate persona from psyche; you just can’t do it.

It constitutes a superhuman effort to lead any people in times of crisis. Without them, the changes would be impossible.

The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Whenever you give up something, you must replace it with something.

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.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

I’ve always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.

As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.

The worst thing that happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don’t let it get the best of you.

The United States, to state the obvious, is greatly concerned by the startling number of unaccompanied minors that – children and teenagers who are making a very perilous journey through Central America to reach the United States.

The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

Greece has been, in many ways, a partially dysfunctional society. For example, the wealthy barely pay taxes… to an extent, that’s true elsewhere, including the United States, but it’s been pretty extreme in Greece.

Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.

The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t still be a farmer.

The reward of suffering is experience.

I dwell in possibility.

Remorse sleeps during prosperity but awakes bitter consciousness during adversity.

I will seize fate by the throat; it shall certainly never wholly overcome me.

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

A family shares hardships and a connected history.

When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ‚cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

Order, unity, and continuity are human inventions, just as truly as catalogues and encyclopedias.

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man… It is more powerful than external circumstances.

If one dream dies, dream another dream. If you get knocked down, get back up and go again.

I don’t suffer of anything that I’ve lost.

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.

I can take it. The tougher it gets, the cooler I get.

We can’t afford to be killing one another.

When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish.

When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.

But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Even when folks are hitting you over the head, you can’t stop marching. Even when they’re turning the hoses on you, you can’t stop.

The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.

I’m proof against that word failure. I’ve seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.
