I believe faith is not certainty but the courage to live with uncertainty.

Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stressful occupation. It turned out not to be the head of a large business, football manager or prime minister, but rather: bus driver.

In our interconnected world, we must learn to feel enlarged, not threatened, by difference - that is what I have argued.

Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.

No great achiever - even those who made it seem easy - ever succeeded without hard work.

When money rules, we remember the price of things and forget the value of things, and that is dangerous.

Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.

The supreme religious challenge is to see God’s image in one who is not in our image.

In Judaism faith means wrestling with God as Jacob once wrestled with an angel.

A society in which there are high levels of voluntary activity will simply be a better, happier place than one where there are not.

God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist. May your work help all of us to cherish our commonalities and feel enlarged by our differences.

Choose your love. Love your choice.

The difference between a ‘man’ and a ‘father’ is that the former shares his genes, but latter gives his life.

To me, feminism means equality between men and women. I want to make people laugh and also point out some injustices or inequalities I see.

We've created over 200,000 jobs every month this year. Hasn't happened in 17 years. I guess my first question is, when do the Republicans stop calling it 'Obama's economy'?

Let us not curse the darkness. Let us kindle little lights.

On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.

Never give up just because it gets hard

There were a bunch of moments that kept cascading. Like, when we got an opportunity to play "Letterman", it gave us an opportunity to step up. It feels good to shed that skin and rise out of it.

You will never lose your nerve. Your life, probably, but never your nerve.

Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.
