真正的勇敢，都包含謙虛。

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。

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。

傲不可長，欲不可縱，樂不可極，志不可滿。

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。

事情還沒有做成就吹牛皮誇口，的確糟糕透頂。

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。

Someone who feels appreciated will always be and do more than expected. This holds true in love and business.

Every woman is sexy in her own way. It is up to men to step up and make women feel like they are No. 1 on that list. There is no such thing as perfection.

I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school. When you are such a loser, it's a helpful way in to a lot of characters because even very powerful people are not all that powerful, really.

Our goal is to upgrade the life of China's middle class. We all want to live better.

I have no family to take care of and no children to pass wealth to.

To love yourself as you are is a miracle, and to see yourself is to have found yourself, for now. And now is all we have, and love is who we are.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.

Before movies, memory unspooled differently in the mind, trailing off in dust-blasted fade-out rather than spliced-together flashback; before photography, memory rippled like a reflection on water's surface, less precise but more profoundly true.

When people think about 'thinking,' they often think 'academia;' they think 'threat.' They think 'coldness.' I want to reverse all those images and say, 'No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It's really good at it if you let it.'

What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.

I sublimate different parts of my personality through my characters. Which is worrying, as some of them can be a bit nasty. I'm pleased the stuff on the page isn't inside me any more.

When one gets in bed with government one must expect the diseases it spreads.

If Pocahontas had been given the foresight to see what devastating consequences her actions and belief in the possibility of peace would have brought upon her people, I wonder if she would have avoided befriending the English or not.

I've been wanting kids for 10 years. I'd love to adopt, have them naturally - all of it. I want, like, 15.

In his state of complete powerlessness the individual perceives the time he has left to live as a brief reprieve.

In my case, I was placing extreme pressure on my lower spine from rotating my hips too much. This is a common cause of bad backs - and bad shots - for golfers of all levels. In addition to resting, I worked with my trainer, Joey Diovisalvi, on strengthening the weaker lower-body muscles that contributed to my overactive hips and back pain.
