For most of us... the problem is not a lack of goals but rather too many of them.

Willpower is a muscle that can be strengthened.

Trophies should go to the winners. Self-esteem does not lead to success in life. Self-discipline and self-control do, and sports can help teach those.

The societal pursuit of high self-esteem for everyone may literally end up doing considerable harm.

What sets human beings apart from animals is not the pursuit of happiness, which occurs all across the natural world, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.

People with high but unstable self-esteem exhibit the greatest hostility.

Evil is not likely to result where people firmly believe that ends do not justify the means.

And my piece of advice is...don't flirt with any of the female instructors. They all have access to weapons bigger than yours.

Life inspires more dread than death - it is life which is the great unknown.

You don't really think The Terminator exists, but you want him to exist.

There is no more delightful hour in life than that of an unconfessed but mutual love.

Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.

Both this song ['Black Skinhead'], 'I Am a God' and this song were made after Hedi Slimane didn't let me into his first Saint Laurent show.

People are scared. People are generally xenophobic - they're scared of what's different. If you're ignorant as well as scared, then you might end up hating something that you're scared of.

It's taken me a lot of years to peel away my own layers.

I'm very suspicious of the idea of a "final theory" in natural science, and the thought of a complete system of ethical rules seems even more dubious.

My kids get everything they want and are raised well.
