I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.

Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because the regret is stronger than gratitude.

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

Whoever is happy will make others happy.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.

You can always give something, even if it is only kindness.

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

To meditate, only you must smile. Smile with face, smile with mind, and good energy will come and clean away dirty energy. Even smile in your liver.

Your smile has magic in it.

If I could create something that is even minutely close to a small percentile of a genius as Cloud Atlas, I shall deem my life worthy!

Right and wrong are very complicated

Life is a handful of short stories pretending to be a novel.

If you want something hard enough, it just gets done.

If we have not enough in our religion . . . to share it with all the world, it is doomed here at home.

What's done is done. You've got to move on. I don't want to say anything bad about the mother of my children.

I came here to tell you the truth, the good, the bad and the ugly.

The pedestal is immobilizing and subtly insulting whether or not some women yet realize it. We must move up from the pedestal.
