Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

What a different world this would be if people would listen to those who know more and not merely try to get something from those who have more.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

If your business keeps you so busy that you have no time for anything else, there must be something wrong, either with you or with your business.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

If you want to know how rich you really are, find out what would be left of you tomorrow if you should lose every dollar you own tonight.

True religion... is giving and finding one's happiness by bringing happiness into the lives of others.

The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.

The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

Better to be a strong man with a weak point, than to be a weak man without a strong point. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable that a brick without a flaw.

We will never have real safety and security for wage earners unless we provide for safety and security for the wage payers and wage savers.

And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

A man without religion or spiritual vision is like a captain who finds himself in the midst of an uncharted sea without compass rudder and steering wheel. He never knows where he is which way he is going and where he is going to land.

You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'd like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.

The day cold and fair with a high easterly wind: we were visited by two Indians who gave us an account of the country and people near the Rocky mountains where they had been.

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

The Pawnee chief had left the village the day after the doctor arrived, with 50 or 60 horses and many people, and had taken his course to the north of our route.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
