在所有的批評中，最偉大最正確最天才的是時間。

任何人都應該有自尊心自信心獨立性，不然就是奴才。但自尊不是輕人，自信不是自滿，獨立不是弧立。

凡能獨立工作的人，一定能對自己的工作開闢一條新的路線。

生命如同寓言，其價值不在長短，而在內容。

對人說不，生命是一切寶物中最高的東西。

生命是肉體和靈魂的結合，別丟失了！

懂得生命真諦的人，可以使短促的生命延長。

真正的聖者的信條是善用生命，充分地利用生命。

生命在閃耀中現出絢爛，在平凡中現出真實。

生命是美麗的，對人來說，美麗不可能與人體的正常發育和人體的健康分開。

我總覺得，生命本身應該有一種意義，我們絕不是白白來一場的。

內容充實的生命就是長久的生命。我們要以行為而不是以時間來衡量生命。

生命苦短，只是美德能將它傳到遙遠的後世。

沒有人生活在過去，也沒有人生活在未來，現在是生命確實佔有的唯一形態。

年輕只知學習營利，乃生命中最黯淡之時刻。

命的意義是在於活得充實，而不是在於活得長久。

生命是美好的，一切物質是美好的，智慧是美好的，愛是美好的！

人生有兩出悲劇：一是萬念俱灰，另一是躊躇滿志。

最聰明的人是最不願浪費時間的人。

真正的敏捷是一件很有價值的事。因為時間是衡量事業的標準，如金錢是衡量貨物的標準。

在時間的大鐘上，只有兩個字——現在。

為瞭解人生有多麼短暫，一個人必須走過漫長的生活道路。

你若是愛千古，你應該愛現在；昨日不能喚回來，明日還是不實在；你能確有把握的，只有今日的現在。

三萬六千日，夜夜當秉燭。白日何短短，百年若易海。

拋棄今天的人，不會有明天；而昨天，不過是行去流水。

我只惋惜一件事，日子太短，過得太快。一個人從來看不出做成什麼，只能看出還應該作什麼？

不要貶低黃昏，黃昏同清晨一樣是成就事業的時間。

If you look at anyone at the top of their profession, there has to be something a little bit different. Some of the top musicians are quirky aren't they, to say the least. You have to be driven, cold, hard and mentally tough as iron. My missus thinks I'm a bit weird.

To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.

I think it's good to have a nice, healthy group of people all doing different things. A lot of my friends don't even work in Hollywood; they just happen to live in L.A.

I had the acting bug from a very early age.

Unfortunately, as much as I am gullible, I also hate lying. I tend to tell the truth a lot... lying just isn't worth it. But I think I'm guilty of telling people that I'm 5 minutes away when really I'm about 45 or an hour away.

The worst is still ahead of us. But no one in Washington has the spine to tell you that.

I have no issue with being a character actor. If you've been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you're working. So that's good!

On television, it's all just shiny, successful people, and so I feel somebody has to wave a flag for the ordinary people who are not quite sure that they are getting it right.

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, that's a buzz kill. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.

I have won 85 caps and have had a great career with Wales and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Someday is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.

I remember that the first country I visited was Canada, and then France. After that, I knew that I loved traveling and seeing the world. I feel that I'm so blessed and fortunate to get to visit so many places and see the world.

I came from a different mind-set growing up, and my mind has changed.

The disadvantages of a decentralized, spread out urban area are tremendous, and the environmental damage of urban sprawl cannot be ignored. As a large city, Tokyo must be used more efficiently and the population density increased.

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.

As a sensitive person around other people, you feel their desires, you feel their angers, and you feel their frustrations. You begin to believe that these desires, angers, and frustrations are yours.

Politicians love regulating. That's part of the whole power structure.

One of the things I've always liked about my husband is he's very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he's very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side.

I nearly died with the peritonitis, but not the heart attack. The heart attack was like bad indigestion and two weeks later I was back in shouting at people. I was shouting at people during the heart attack. I had it for three days without realising what it was.

Reviewers are certainly entitled to their own opinions. I've become buddies with enough writers and directors, and to be perfectly honest, the ones that have lasted a long time don't pay a lot of attention to the reviews.

I had seen so many injustices done in the court by well-meaning people. I had lost fourteen clients to gang violence in only seven years. I was angry at a system I thought had failed my clients, and I was part of it.

We sing a little song before we eat, a little blessing before we eat, and it's really - we're thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat, and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way.
