if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

what drives you crazy what keeps you up at night

you must understand the difference between want and need you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him

you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you

it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations

to be soft is to be powerful

accept yourself as you were designed

other women's bodies are not our battlegrounds

i have what i have and i am happy i've lost what i've lost and i am still happy

if the hurt comes so will the happiness

how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

you are your own soul mate

some people are so bitter to them you must be kindest

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first

I try to help people become the best possible editors of their own work, to help them become conscious of the things they do well, of the things they need to look at again, of the wells of material they have not even begun to dip their buckets into.

Bond is a classic archetype character a character thats embedded in our heads forever one of a lone warrior setting out to avenge a nation and you find that character across cultures.

I felt that the Fed had always been the agency that picked up the pieces when there was a financial crisis, and it was invented to do exactly that.

Everything goes with short hair. It's bananas.

My mum was a librarian, and she brought home a lot of interesting books, and we just read and read. I suppose I didn't really think I could be a writer myself until I was working in editing in my 20s and discovered that actually, the books that came in were not very much like published books.

You don't see many people crying over the wrong they do to God every time His word is neglected or when one willfully sins.

More and more, my life is going in a direction that is not universal; there's only a very small group of people who understand.

People say McGregor is tall and all that. He's as tall as I am, or maybe even shorter. He might have a longer reach, but I've fought Nate Diaz and Cerrone, who had reach advantage, and fought Anthony Pettis and Ben Henderson.

Though German art can never be Bavarian, but simply German, yet Munich is the capital of this German Art; here, under shelter of a Prince who kindles my enthusiasm, to feel myself a native and member of the people was, to me, the homeless wanderer, a deep, a genuine need.

The number of those who undergo the fatigue of judging for themselves is very small indeed.

Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it, but it's not right for everybody. It's taught to you a little bit at a time, according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging.

Odds are you know some narcissists. Odds are they're smart, confident and articulate. They make you laugh, they make you think; the first time you met, they probably charmed the pants off of you - perhaps even literally. The odds are also that that spell didn't last.

I studied to be a chef as a side thing, a little hobby that I enjoyed doing, but I ended up falling madly in love with the food and the lifestyle.

The track is fast and I appreciate anything is possible.

People need jobs, people need happy and successful lives; there should be marriage between one man and one woman, there should the value of person from conception until natural death.

At the end of the day, that's our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else.

What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.

Let the past make you better, not bitter.

They're putting cement dust into cattle feed to make the cows heavier; the FDA knows all about it.

I'm not saying it's easy, and it's definitely harder for women. Because there is definitely a double standard about gorgeous older men, and it's different for older women.

Like pollen on a honeybee flattery clings to the things you tell yourself.

Martinis are glamorous but also so simple because they only have a few ingredients, and you can really taste the vodka.

I don't like anything new.

I was that weird eight-year-old who was really interested in Shakespeare and understood it and appreciated the language.
