Purge your mind of all aimless and idle thoughts, especially those that pry into the affairs of others or wish them ill.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinions than our own.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

I do want people to see me as a well-rounded actress, not just someone who plays in 'Turtle' movies.

Anything that does not bring you alive is too small for you.

There are no one dimensional people.

I love summer, but my legs are so pale I can never wear shorts or a bikini.

I love Godzilla, but my favorite was on this TV Show, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot. I used to love the idea of having a giant robot under my control. That was like a dream come true for a kid.

Death people who are still alive at this hour, must resurrect and ascend to the intellectual heaven where there is no ignorance.

The first lady must be a leader. She must not be a follower.

And yet--it is not beauty that inspires the deepest passion. Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait. Beauty, without expression, tires.

I like to keep my surroundings low-key. I don't need much around me. I'm easy don't need a lot of racket.

Suicide bombers caused us more than 50 percent of our casualties. The fence works. There is a decline in the number of those terrorist attacks against Israelis.
