Humans are born to build something outrageous.

We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision.

I am Tamil, Sinhalese, Muslim and Burgher. I am a Buddhist, a Hindu, a follower of Islam and Christianity. I am today, and always, proudly Sri Lankan.

I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.

I hate partying. If I'm forced to go to a party or a social gathering, I go in at 9:30 and leave at 10 P.M.

I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.

When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.

It's the best thing if your work is your passion in life. It makes me feel like I'm always on break.

We should not allow fear or anxiety to stop us from doing something. If you think through something well and prepare thoroughly, you can do a lot of things you think you can't.

I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.

Work is work, but family is for life. That's what really matters to me.

We overcome the world because God is our shield and protection

I know nothing of writing books properly. I write in the same manner I live life: one feeling at a time. If this makes me a bad writer, then I might hope to author several bad books.

We can not begin to administer justice without understanding the concept of truth and mercy.

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

God has given the salt lick to the deer; and He has given to man, red-skin and white, the delicious spring at which to slake his thirst.

Discipline yourself, and others won't need to.

It's amazing how many things busy people are doing that never will be missed.

I'm surprised when I see someone doing the logical, commonsense thing: Walk facing the oncoming traffic.

All the harm, fear, and suffering in the world are caused by attachment to the self: Why should I hold on to this great demon?

The writer's duty is to keep on writing.
