Nada há de bom nesta vida salvo a esperança de uma outra vida.

A duração breve da nossa vida proíbe-nos de alimentar uma esperança longa.

A esperança de gozar cede apenas em prazer à esperança realizada.

O mundo pertence aos otimistas: os pessimistas são meros espectadores.

Otimismo é esperar pelo melhor. Confiança é saber lidar com o pior.

Há pessoas que choram por saber que as rosas têm espinho. Há outras que sorriem por saber que os espinhos têm rosas!

Pratique a esperança. À media que a esperança se torna um hábito, você consegue alcançar um espírito permanentemente feliz.

Lute com determinação, abrace a vida com paixão, perca com classe e vença com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida é muito para ser insignificante.

A verdadeira esperança é uma qualidade, uma determinação heróica da alma. E a mais elevada forma de esperança é o desespero superado.

Acredite que você pode, assim você já está no meio do caminho.

Pessimismo leva à fraqueza, otimismo ao poder.

A esperança é um alimento da nossa alma, ao qual se mistura sempre o veneno do medo.

Todos os dias faça alguma coisa de que você tem medo.

Um dia tudo será excelente, eis a nossa esperança; hoje tudo corre pelo melhor, eis a nossa ilusão.

Num certo momento da vida, não é a esperança a última a morrer, mas a morte é a última esperança.

A recordação é a esperança do avesso. Olha-se para o fundo do poço como se olhou para o alto da torre.

Se, a princípio, a ideia não é absurda, então não há esperança para ela.

I'm clear that we do need to improve what's happening in our schools.

One man is as good as another until he has written a book.

I like that feeling of letting loose, of not planning every step. The best performances are the ones that you just let happen.

My wife and I try not to get into each other's work too much.

I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities.

There is more to life than surviving.

Loyalty means giving me your honest opinion whether you think Ill like it or not. Disagreement at this state stimulates me. But once a decision is made the debate ends. From that point on loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own.

In the U.S. you have a system of lobbying and influence on our policy and law makers which is incredibly pronounced. The gas industry spent $250 million getting an exemption from our Safe Water Act. Every one of those dollars is toxic; a contaminant in our political system. It disrupts the normal flow of justice, science, fact and reporting.

I have a deep faith in God.

I still take advice from my mum on what clothes look good on me. I used to listen to her a lot more, but I've started to choose my own things from time to time.

In a full heart there is room for everything, and in an empty heart there is room for nothing.

An orator is the worse person to tell a plain fact.

I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents. It is an incredibly inspiring and challenging job being a parent, and as it turns out, being young really helps you keep up.

Around the time I turned 30, I wanted to publish a novel.

I eat 230 grams of protein daily, 308 grams of carbohydrates, maybe 70 grams of fat. I can have one cheat meal a week but it can't be that I eat until I'm stuffed; I eat until I'm satisfied.

But I do think its necessary to have debates.

Every war has revolutionary justice.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

My theory in the '90s was that I didn't want to take a Jane Austen book I loved and reduce it to a 90-minute movie. The Emma Thompson-Ang Lee 'Sense and Sensibility' was beautiful, but other ones, I didn't think justice was being done. It's not a slam dunk to adapt these books.

I like old Disney films that have an edge to them.
