成功的第一個條件是真正的虛心，對自己的一切敝帚自珍的成見，只要看出同真理衝突，都願意放棄。

驕傲的人必然嫉妒，他對於那最以德性受人稱讚的人便最懷忌恨。

九牛一毫莫自誇，驕傲自滿必翻車。曆覽古今多少事，成由謙遜敗由奢。

一個驕傲的人，結果總是在驕傲裡毀滅了自己。

傲不可長，欲不可縱，樂不可極，志不可滿。

真正的勇敢，都包含謙虛。

啊！誇獎的話，出於自己口中，那是多麽乏味！

慷慨，尤其是還有謙虛，就會使人贏得好感。

我們不要把眼睛生在頭頂上，致使用了自己的腳踏壞了我們想得之於天上的東西。

謙遜可以使一個戰士更美麗。

我們的驕傲多半是基於我們的無知。

滿盈者，不損何為？慎之！慎之！

恃國家之大，矜民人之眾，欲見威於敵者，謂之驕兵。

如果學習只在於模仿，那麼我們就不會有科學，也不會有技術。

求學的三個條件是：多觀察多吃苦多研究。

我們從失敗中學到的東西要比在成功中學到的東西多得多。

I would love to do a little ballroom dancing with my husband... He and I can take a couple classes together. It would be a lot of fun!

We're huge fans of 'Game of Thrones' for example, 'Orphan Black.' And even though those shows don't necessarily correlate directly with 'Arrow,' I'm a very big believer that writers are the product of their inspirations.

When I dance, I forget everything else and just feel completely happy.

When youre curious you find lots of interesting things to do.

I'm not used to going out every single night, which you can do in New York.

For example, after developing a sound similar to an elephant trumpeting, I wrote the song Elephant Talk which gave my elephant sound an appropriate place to live.

Be faithful in small things because it is in them your strength lies.

The Blues scene now is international. In the '50s it was purely something that you would hear in black clubs, played by black musicians, especially in America. But from the '60s onwards it changed.

I say you don't need religion, or political ideology, to understand human nature. Science reveals that human nature is greedy and selfish, altruistic and helpful.

I'm a good old Yorkshire girl in that I don't like to talk about things that are on tick. As my nana always said, 'Until you've bought it, it's not yours,' so until it's signed on the dotted line, I don't like to talk about it.

But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere.

Immigration is a system and a set of policies. And immigrants are the people behind those policies and behind that system, and the human stories.

Attempts to put my poems to music have had disastrous results in all cases. And the poem, if it's written with the ear, already has been set to its own verbal music as it was composed.

There is no fixed physical reality, no single perception of the world, just numerous ways of interpreting world views as dictated by one's nervous system and the specific environment of our planetary existence.

I was a bookworm who aced every test - until third grade, when my teacher handed out a pop quiz about Jesus and the Apostles.

Satisfying a profit motive must never be the reason for law enforcement, and it certainly must never be allowed to support the seizure of personal property by those who we trust to protect and defend our nation and our Constitution.

For me, it was a lot of pressure to make another movie after 'Inglourious Basterds' because I didn't want to do something wrong. I wanted to have a beautiful project for another American movie.

Libraries are not made; they grow.

When France was the only reference for chefs to learn, you could go everywhere in the world, and they would copy dishes directly because they didn't have much expanded imagination or technique or knowledge.

A reputation takes years and years and years to build, and it takes one press of a button to ruin it. Don't let that happen to you. You've done so much work; you've put in so much effort. Don't let one moment ruin your entire life because you wanted to be funny or you were mad or because you had a mood.
