A alegria de fazer o bem é a única felicidade verdadeira. 

Ser feliz sem motivo é a mais autêntica forma de felicidade. 

Não existe um caminho para a felicidade. A felicidade é o caminho. 

Saber encontrar a alegria na alegria dos outros, é o segredo da felicidade. 

A amizade desenvolve a felicidade e reduz o sofrimento, duplicando a nossa alegria e dividindo a nossa dor. 

A amizade é uma predisposição recíproca que torna dois seres igualmente ciosos da felicidade um do outro. 

Felicidade é a certeza de que a nossa vida não está se passando inutilmente. 

É muito melhor viver sem felicidade do que sem amor. 

A nossa felicidade depende mais do que temos nas nossas cabeças, do que nos nossos bolsos. 

A felicidade é um problema individual. Aqui, nenhum conselho é válido. Cada um deve procurar, por si, tornar-se feliz. 

Na plenitude da felicidade, cada dia é uma vida inteira. 

A felicidade de um amigo deleita-nos. Enriquece-nos. Não nos tira nada. Caso a amizade sofra com isso, é porque não existe. 

A suprema felicidade da vida é ter a convicção de que somos amados. 

O dinheiro é uma felicidade humana abstracta; por isso aquele que já não é capaz de apreciar a verdadeira felicidade humana, dedica-se completamente a ele. 

Os homens que procuram a felicidade são como os embriagados que não conseguem encontrar a própria casa, apesar de saberem que a têm. 

A suprema felicidade da vida é a convicção de ser amado por aquilo que você é, ou melhor, apesar daquilo que você é. 

Quase sempre a maior ou menor felicidade depende do grau de decisão de ser feliz. 

No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm by lying or by being lied to.

The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest. That's what we did in New Jersey and that's the model for America.

I live a very secluded life, a very contemplative life and a very meditative one. That is my ideal life.

Games I do find interesting for what they say about us, about what we wish for, about the programming. But let it stop there: don't listen to this rubbish about them actually being good for you, helping with hand-eye co-ordination or whatever. They're games. They prepare you for nothing.

I was just talking about women, just in terms of understanding them as much as we can ever understand the opposite sex. I'm trying to let go of certain male approaches to things that you inherit, that you grow up with.

A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney', but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show. I learned what a camera and prop is, and all that. I learned my manners too, so I guess that's a good thing!

My mother, Yolanda, was a little girl who never grew up, and sometimes we would laugh, and I would say things like, 'Okay, so now it looks like I am your mother and you are my daughter,' to which she would reply, 'Well, yes. Handle it and pamper me.'

Walking through this life really is walking through fire.

We had this neighbor who was an actor, and he was going to an audition one day, driving by our house, and he asked if I wanted to tag along. He was reading for the part of the father, and they were reading for the part of the son the same day, and he told me to sneak in there and make it look like I knew what I was doing.

The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don't necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

The Internet is fascinating but also stupid in a way. You only see two-dimensional images, and you think you've seen it and know it.

The book is there for inspiration and as a foundation, the fundamentals on which to build.

Every case involving cybercrime that I've been involved in, I've never found a master criminal sitting somewhere in Russia or Hong Kong or Beijing. It always ends up that somebody at the company did something they weren't supposed to do. They read an email, went to a website they weren't supposed to.

I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.

Value in medicine depends on information - as I said in 'Let Patients Help,' 'People perform better when they're informed better.' It follows that to make patients and families more effective in care, they need to know more.

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

The best ideas are those that really affect me emotionally - those are the ones you never forget. You think to yourself, 'I want to write that book', for years; those are the ideas that I love to work with, and 'The Bone Garden' was one of them.

I am prepared to believe that a dry martini slightly impairs the palate, but think what it does for the soul.

Our Redeemer took upon Himself all the sins, pains, infirmities, and sicknesses of all who have ever lived and will ever live.

Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish but it will not replace you as the driver

I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.

I left Delhi in 1989 and remember very little of how life used to be then. Increasingly, in my recent visits to Delhi, I've started to realize that the city has become intellectually very lively. It makes me want to discover the city over and over again.

I couldn't join a party that, frankly, tolerates members who are bigots for one thing, homophobes, racists.

There's a rising tide of concern among activists, economists, and artists about Africa. Theres a temptation to think of it as a monolith as opposed to all these different countries with different problems.
