I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

There is no sin too great for God's grace. There is no habit too big for his healing. There is no label too strong for his love.

You will meet happiness on your way if you just stop looking for happiness desperately! Live your life without looking for anything!

When one is at the edge and falls then it’s a splendour to many an eyes until the flow begins all over again - keep flowing because that’s what’s life is about.

I will never to the end of my days ever begin to understand my fellow human beings.

No rural community, no suburban community, can ever possess the distinctive qualities that city dwellers have for centuries given to the world.

I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object.

To me I just, I'm a geek when it comes to cinematographers . And when it comes to Robert and when it comes to someone like Roger Deakins who shot Prisoners and he shot Jarhead.

In the garden of your days cultivate festivity, play and celebrations.

Every prayer is an agreement with yourself. The mind is asking the real you, which is life, to guide your decisions for every single choice that you make.

I always liked records that didn't explain themselves too well - ones that you had to listen a few times.
