The Comfort Zone is supposed to keep your life safe, but what it really does is keep your life small.

Higher forces must be experienced directly, and that takes effort. That means you'll face the same stark choice I did: demand proof that you'll never receive, or use the tools in the face of your doubts. When I stopped thinking and focused on the tools, my reward was life changing faith.

It’s a paradox; only when you desire fear, will you be able to take action in its presence—which is what courage consists of.

Fear is almost always linked to an image you have of something terrible happening in the future. To develop courage, you have to give up this illusion of future certainty.

There’s a hidden, inner strength that you cannot find unless you push yourself through adversity.

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too … raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”

A few rare individuals refuse to live limited lives. They drive through tremendous amounts of pain—from rejections and failures to shorter moments of embarrassment and anxiety. They also handle the small, tedious pain required for personal discipline, forcing themselves to do things we all know we should do.

Most of us choose avoidance instead. As a result, we don’t live up to our potential, never becoming fully ourselves.

The more intense the pain—and the more aggressively you move into it—the more energy you’ll create.

I have a reputation for drinking a lot. Indeed, I drink quite much. However, I give it up when I wish to do so. I never, ever drink while on duty. The drinking is only for my pleasure. I do not remember neglecting my duties because of drinking even once.

I bounce off four walls, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because I only sleep those four hours a day.

The U.S. should worry about the effects of its polices on the rest of the world. We would like to live in a world where countries take into account the effect of their policies on other countries and do what is right, broadly, rather than what is just right given the circumstances of that country.

And I used to buy 'Fangoria,' the horror magazine, which made my mum wonder if I was going to be a serial killer.

I chose to pursue a career in physics because there the truth isn't so easily bent.

I don't cringe when I think of doing old material. A lot of the people have been with me through the years.

I can say that even in the midst of my most cynical comic stripping: Opus shone through with a bit of heart, anchoring the ugly proceedings with a comforting pull of emotion.

Beginnings are apt to be shadowy and so it is the beginnings of the great mother life the sea.

Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.

I want to work with my friends because Canadian genre publishing is a really small pool.

As you build your career, you know where you want to go. I'm definitely moving towards films. That's definitely a goal. I'm definitely going to put it out there.

Normal life cannot sustain revolutionary attitudes for long.

Insurgents throughout Iraq continue to threaten our efforts and pose a danger to stability in the region. They fight not for their country, but rather against ours.

At least Obama was half-way honest about how much he was going to spend on health care. He had it at $600 billion. And the real number... is $1.2 trillion.

Me in high school, I was kind of a loner. I had a handful of friends. I'd eat my lunch in my car every day in my senior year. I went to ballet. I was a ballerina, so I was very focused on that. You kind of have to be. That was two-thirds of my week, going to ballet class.

I'm excited to see how current and future technologies revolutionize the way we learn.

Toy Soldiers was my introduction to film. I certainly didn't think I was doing art by any stretch of the imagination.

Marriage is marriage. Everybody has problems.

I hate to think of the day when nobody remembers me as an actor and I can't get good tables in restaurants.

A great man is a torch in the darkness, a beacon in superstition's night, an inspiration and a prophecy.

There's this secret Korean taco/cupcake truck I go to. To find it, you have to bring a hard-boiled egg to this deli in Bushwick where they give you the address.

I am able to follow my own death step by step. Now I move softly towards the end.

I can tell you that the Canadian intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been providing outstanding co-operation with our intelligence and law enforcement agencies as we work together to track down terrorists here in North America and put them out of commission.

Murdoch paid too much for the Wall Street Journal even when he didn't have any competition.
