Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

Hope is a gift we give ourselves in our darkest despair.

The color has faded out of the sky. It is grey, becoming darker as the world turns herself round a little more. The clouds are long and black and ragged, like the wings of stormbattered dragons.

There is a big difference between a tree and a wood! There is a big difference between a thinking society and an unthinking society!

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent.

Everyone judges constantly: positively judging one person is the same as negatively judging everyone else; it is to say that that person is superior in some sense.

Happiness is only the threshold to misery. When a friend refuses to share in joys.

It's nice to be wanted. That's a really good feeling. I'm not immune to it.

When I emerge from filming I feel slightly out of synch with real life, but it's also a relief.

Face the giants in your life, slay them, and move on. Do not be daunted by the mistakes and failures in your life.
