Có thể nhìn nhận cả sở trường và sở đoản của bản thân, không phủ nhận những nhược điểm của mình, tìm cách phát huy hết phẩm chất con người mình là điều thật đáng quý

Yêu chính bản thân mình là bắt đầu cho cuộc sống lãng mạn

Việc đánh giá bản thân ở mức thích hợp là điều rất quan trọng, nó giúp ta hài lòng với cuộc sống của mình

Chỉ có phương pháp hoặc hành động là thất bại - đừng tự đánh giá thấp bản thân và dằn vặt quá mức

Khi so sánh mình với người khác, hãy nhìn vào sự "khác biệt" thay vì "khoảng cách"

Đừng cố lấp liếm khuyết điểm, đôi khi chúng giúp chúng ta thực sự dễ dàng được mọi người chấp thuận

Những người cứng nhắc, hay bắt ép bản thân thường yếu đuối trước thất bại, luôn phủ định bản thân

Hãy quyết chiến với chính mình trong quá khứ!

Cảm thấy hạnh phúc với sự trưởng thành (từ vấp ngã) - còn quan trọng hơn thành tựu của đời người 

Điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải cảm thấy ta đang trưởng thành (nếu ta thực sự đang trưởng thành mà không cảm nhận được điều ấy, thì cũng không thể thoả mãn được nhu cầu của bản thân). Hãy ghi lại 3 điều mà mình học được mỗi ngày

Con người có 3 loại nhu cầu: nhu cầu tồn tại, nhu cầu quan hệ và nhu cầu trưởng thành

I never thought of myself as a movie star. I'm just a working girl. A working girl who worked her way to the top - and never fell off.

I'm quite an insecure person and need reassuring all the time.

When I got pregnant, I became very interested in natural products. You wonder what you're putting on your skin when you're carrying a child.

Steve Fossett and I would share a common belief that it is possible and good to challenge yourself to the extreme.

If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have let him alone.

I'd love to be a man for a day, just to see what it's like.

People always ask me how long somebody can last as long as I've been lasting and continue to keep doing it, so I figured that people didn't really know how to do that.

Palms are like cockroaches. They were here long before us, and they'll be here long after us. They're the only things standing after a hurricane.

The case of the Seminoles constitutes at present the only exception to the successful efforts of the Government to remove the Indians to the homes assigned them west of the Mississippi.

My way of viewing the talking filibuster was as a way of doing unanimous consent with your feet. You object by going down and talking.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

The 'fiscal cliff' is a ruse, an invention by the right and the rich, to try and keep their huge tax breaks.

So I think the fans will be totally interested in the new developments and delighted that the old developments are still there and that they can still see some of the old characters maybe reappear.

As Governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.

So I'm all of love that could make it today.

The fully engaged heart is the antibody for the infection of violence.

I think a lot of it had to do with, you know, I was always a daddy's girl. I was always wanting to please him, and I think he was pleased when he'd walk past my room and I was listening to those records.

Lyndon Johnson may have escalated the war, but when I was drafted and shipped off to Vietnam, the signature on my orders was Nixon's.

I was so shy. I used to cross the street so I wouldn't even have to talk to my relatives, much less strangers. That's not shy, that's wise. But I found that that when you had a journalist's notebook in your hand it wasn't really you, you see.

Make the world better.

I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.

I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

Life delivered me a catastrophe, but I found a richness of soul.

As an actor, to go and see those shows - great plays like 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' and Clifford Odets's 'Golden Boy' - it's so exhilarating. I'd personally love to perform the role of Jerry in Edward Albee's 'The Zoo Story.' He's a transient, lost soul, and an example of humanity at its rawest.
