Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.

Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.

I’ve noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it’s far enough in the future.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

The human being is a strange mixture of blind instinct, on one hand, and conscience, on the other.

Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.

My confidence is easy to shake. I am very well aware of all of my flaws. I am aware of all the insecurities that I have.

Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

I want the world to see my body.

What a liberation to realize that the ‚voice in my head‘ is not who I am. ‚Who am I, then?‘ The one who sees that.

Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Don’t be afraid to see what you see.

The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.

I think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo.

Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed.

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.

There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.

How far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without?

Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‚Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.‘

People who truly understand what is meant by self-reliance know they must live their lives by ethics rather than rules.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

I even found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn’t identify with the person on the screen. I couldn’t get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.

Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness.

A daily portion is really all we need. We do not need tomorrow’s supply, for that day has not yet dawned, and its needs are still unborn.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

Intense feeling too often obscures the truth.

At the end of the day, who I really and truly am is a little girl who loved to play the piano.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

People like to blame others. I think a person should just look at their own situation, look around them, find out what they wish to do, and seek and go and do that. And that’s it.

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

Before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be ‚sexy,‘ even before I knew what the word was.

Helped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.

Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They’re only powerful when you got your back turned.

I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn’t, then why would you say I am.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.

There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.

Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.

Every spoken word arouses our self-will.

The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.

One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

I tend to get bored quickly, which means I must be boring.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for.

Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small.

I’ve just tried to grow up in the most natural and gradual process that I possibly can and make choices I feel are right for me and my fans.

I look like a casual, laid-back guy, but it’s like a circus in my head.

Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.

Lord Jesus, we come just as we are; this is how we came at first, and this is how we come still, with all our failures, with all our transgressions, with all and everything that is what it ought not to be, we come to Thee.

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.

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

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

It’s getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work… I’m trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‚Ego‘.

One of the things I did when I discovered this huge importance of being vulnerable is very happily moved away from the shame research, because that’s such a downer, and people hate that topic. It’s not that vulnerability is the upside, but it’s better than shame, I guess.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
