You will never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.

Happiness is not determined by what's happening around you, but rather what's happening inside you. Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within.

Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion; today is special.

Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems; look for someone who will face them with you.

Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you.

If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.

If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.

When someone tells you, "You've changed," it might simply be because you've stopped living your life their way.

And the trouble with bad times is, you can't sleep through them.

An extrovert looks at a stack of books and sees a stack of papers, while an introvert looks at the same stack and sees a soothing source of escape.

We have the worst security!

I'm asking you to make at least some of your Christmas giving important.

Strictly speaking, we do not make decisions. Decisions make us.

No price is too high to pay to try to make the financial system go on a little bit longer. But ultimately it can't be saved, because of the mathematics that are involved.

I never look at a high point in my career. Everyone thinks about the Spinks fight, but that fight only lasted 91 seconds, so it's hard to say it defined my career.

I personally don't believe anything is impossible. With enough determination and effort, almost everything is possible.

I wear a lot of different things, personally. I don't have favorites.

If I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.
