Мы имеем возможность пребывать в своем теле лишь ограниченное количество времени, так почему бы не радоваться этому путешествию, вместо того чтобы уныло ползти вперед, пока оно не кончится?

Тусуйся с крутыми и классными людьми, рядом с которыми ощутишь себя полным лошарой, если не станешь таким же крутым и классным. Не устану это подчеркивать. Люди, которыми ты себя окружаешь, сильно влияют на то, как ты видишь свой мир и насколько высокую ставишь планку.

Если хочешь это делать, не жди, пока будешь не так занят, или более обеспечен, или «готов», или на 20 фунтов похудеешь. Начинай прямо сейчас. Мы никогда больше не будем так молоды, как сейчас. Навещай своих любимых как можно чаще. Поступай так, словно каждая ваша встреча – последняя.

Все мы знаем гораздо больше, чем сами думаем. 2. Мы тянемся к делам, в которых талантливы от природы (что, кстати говоря, значит больше, чем наличие университетского диплома по данному предмету). 3. Нет лучшего учителя, чем нужда. 4. Страсть побеждает страх.

Вот каков механизм. У каждого из нас, людей, имеется сознание и подсознание. Однако большинство осознает только свое сознание, поскольку именно с его помощью мы перерабатываем поступающую информацию.

В сознании мы выносим суждения, мучаемся навязчивыми мыслями, ругаем себя за безалаберность, решаем раз и навсегда перестать есть жареное, соображаем, что 2 + 2 = 4, пытаемся припомнить, где, черт возьми, мы оставили ключи от машины – и т. д.

The world is run by those willing to sit until the end of meetings.

To me, the stage is like my living room, or my home, and when you come over to my house, I have to be a hostess and invite you in so that we can have a great time.

You are indebted to you imagination for three-fourths of your importance.

We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.

Between income taxes and employment taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, corporate taxes, property taxes, Social Security taxes, we're being taxed to death.

Love will find a way

Paper acts as an eraser on the mind, as soon as you look at what you've written.

Even the highest forms of sacrificial worship present much that is repulsive to modern ideas, and in particular it requires an effort to reconcile our imagination to the bloody ritual which is prominent in almost every religion which has a strong sense of sin.

The choir is not disbanded. We will continue to rehearse and we will continue to honor our contractual obligations because were paid for every performance.

To put on a performance, you have to be emotional. You can't be a zombie.

I'm used to the egos in the 1960s, '70s and '80s where people just expected massive success and thought it was their birth right to be successful.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

Sundays in my teens were spent on homework: from 8 am until at least 8 pm, with stoppages to be fed and watered. I was carrying up to ten subjects simultaneously.

Good Friday is not about us trying to get right with God. It is about us entering the difference between God and humanity and just touching it for a moment. Touching the shimmering sadness of humanitys insistence that we can be our own gods that we can be pure and all powerful.

There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime.

I can access emotions very easily.

It is needless to say that women make the most patient as well as the most dangerous pickpockets.

As any speaker will tell you, when you address a large number of people from a stage, you try to make eye contact with people in the audience to communicate that you're accessible and interested in them.

Outside of a few national security issues like treason that the Constitution lays out, we don't need federal crimes, and we don't need federal prisons. We need state crimes and state prisons.

My mother wanted to name me Jackie or Jacqueline but she got to name my sister and my brother, so my dad and my brother insisted on naming me. And they were big fans of 'The Little Mermaid.'

I like to stay home and watch television. The Game Show channel, mostly.
