Life yields only to the conqueror.

Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.

Never, for the sake of peace and quiet, deny your own experience or convictions.

It is easy to be nice, even to an enemy - from lack of character.

Our work for peace must begin within the private world of each of us. To build for man a world without fear, we must be without fear. To build a world of justice, we must be just.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.

If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.

'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.

Stop looking to others for inspiration. Stop looking at past accomplishments. Be your own inspiration today and for tomorrow.

Freedom without discipline is foolish, discipline without freedom is insanity.

I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.

I never go about a new project as if I'm trying ot redefine myself. I just like to work, and I'm excited by material I find challenging and - if it's a comedy - exceptionally funny.

Illness and death are not optional. Patients have a right to determine how they approach them.

Sometimes, if I really strain my brain, I can even do multiplication.

Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

I no longer have a style to maintain. I rent a little flat in Los Angeles, I don't take holidays, I don't dine out and I take cheap flights.

If I sold all my liabilities, I wouldn't own anything. My wife's a liability, my kids are liabilities, and I haven't sold them.
