Őseinket felhozád Karpat szent bérczére, Általad nyert szép hazát Bendegúznak vére. ´S merre zúgnak habjai Tiszának, Dunának Árpád hős magzatjai Felvirágozának.

Isten áld meg a´ Magyart Jó kedvvel; bőséggel, Nyújts feléje védő kart Ha küzd ellenséggel, Bal sors a´ kit régen tép Hozz rá víg esztendőt, Megbünhödte már e´ nép A´ múltat ´s jövendőt!

Érttünk Kunság mezejin Ért kalászt lengettél, Tokaj szőlőveszszejin Nektárt csepegtettél. Zászlónk gyakran plántálád Vad Török sánczára, ´S nyögte Mátyás bús hadát Bécsnek büszke vára.

Hajh, de bűneink miatt Gyúlt harag kebledben, ´S elsújtád villámidat Dörgő fellegedben, Most rabló Mongol nyilát Zúgattad felettünk, Majd Töröktől rabigát Vállainkra vettünk.

Hányszor zengett ajkain Ozman vad népének Vert hadunk csonthalmain Győzedelmi ének? Hányszor támadt tennfiad Szép hazám kebledre, ´S lettél magzatod miatt, Magzatod hamvedre?

Bújt az üldözött ´s felé Kard nyúl barlangjában, Szertenézett és nem lelé Honját a´ hazában. Bércre hág és völgybe száll, Bú ´s kétség mellette, Vérözön lábainál, ´S lángtenger felette.

Vár állott, most kőhalom; Kedv ´s öröm röpkedtek, Halálhörgés, siralom Zajlik már helyettek. S ah, szabadság nem virúl A holtnak véréböl, Kínzó rabság könynye húll Árvánk hő szeméböl!

Szánd meg Isten a´ Magyart Kit vészek hányának, Nyújts feléje védő kart Tengerén kinjának. Bal sors a´ kit régen tép, Hozz rá víg esztendőt, Megbünhödtte már e´ nép A´ múltat ´s jövendőt!

There's nothing in the American dream about character. It's a serious flaw.

There are two kinds of guilt the kind that drowns you until youre useless and the kind that fires your soul to purpose.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do

The more goals you set the more goals you get.

I have discovered in 20 years of moving around a ballpark, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.

Y'all have no idea how many times I say, 'Yes, ma'am.'

People themselves are full of tunnels: winding, dark spaces and caverns; impossible to know all the places inside of them. Impossible even to imagine.

Most authors writing books like 'He's Just Not That Into You' dream of doing what I was being asked to do. I didn't like it. I'm good at giving advice, but doing it on TV and radio felt wrong, and when people resisted my point of view, I was like, 'Why am I doing this? This was not the plan.' So I stopped. It didn't make me feel good.

A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if hes persuasive.

Most men have an insecurity of some sort. But we're brought up to believe that we can't show them.

I would say I thrive in a competitive environment.

Between 2 and 5 I'm reading in to find out what's been going on while I've been asleep.

I don't see how you can separate human rights and the rights of all people, no matter what their sexual orientation is.

Actually, I failed drama in high school because of nerves. I wasn't able to memorize the words. I had complete stage fright.

I respect every religion.

Because acting was my only professional outlet, I put a ton of pressure on the roles that I did. I overstepped my bounds, I tried to control things that were out of my purview as an actor and in some cases even tried to direct my scenes because I felt I knew how they should run rather than trust the director.

Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

I'm an actor, learning lines and saying them in the right order.

For better or worse, I've always been curious musically. Whether it's opera or Judy Garland or pop, I've deliberately sought those things out. I've never wanted to do the same things over and over. Some think I've accomplished what I set out to do, and others consider me a dilettante.

If you don't mind haunting the margins, I think there is more freedom there.

The test of truth in life is not whether we can remember what we learned in school, but whether we are prepared for change.

Youll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

I've met fans that are 9 months old to 90 years old.
