Deus me enviou à terra com uma missão. Só Ele pode me deter, os homens nunca poderão. 

O ignorante afirma, o sábio duvida, o sensato reflete. 

Dizes que a beleza não é nada? Imagina um hipopótamo com alma de anjo... Sim, ele poderá convencer os outros de sua angelitude - mas que trabalheira! 

Para quê preocuparmo-nos com a morte? A vida tem tantos problemas que temos de resolver primeiro. 

Se a tranquilidade da água permite refletir as coisas, o que não poderá a tranquilidade do espírito? 

Não faças da tua vida um rascunho.  Poderás não ter tempo de passá-la a limpo. 

Nossas dúvidas são traidoras e nos fazem perder o que, com frequência, poderíamos ganhar, por simples medo de arriscar. 

Fiquei magoado, não por me teres mentido, mas por não poder voltar a acreditar-te. 

Quem tem um amigo, mesmo que um só, não importa onde se encontre, jamais sofrerá de solidão; poderá morrer de saudades, mas não estará só. 

Querer não é poder. Quem pôde, quis antes de poder só depois de poder. Quem quer nunca há-de poder, porque se perde em querer. 

Sabemos o que somos, mas não sabemos o que poderemos ser. 

Nós poderíamos ser muito melhores se não quiséssemos ser tão bons. 

A leitura após certa idade distrai excessivamente o espírito humano das suas reflexões criadoras. Todo o homem que lê demais e usa o cérebro de menos adquire a preguiça de pensar. 

Toda a poesia - e a canção é uma poesia ajudada - reflete o que a alma não tem. Por isso a canção dos povos tristes é alegre e a canção dos povos alegres é triste. 

Quem não sabe o que é a vida, como poderá saber o que é a morte? 

Pessimismo leva à fraqueza, otimismo ao poder. 

If you properly clean a room, it gets dirtier before it gets cleaner.

If we are going to win the next war, in my opinion, 50 percent of the time of training should be allotted to night training.

In Hong Kong, 'wonton' means swallowing a cloud.

The clock never stops never stops never waits. Were growing old. Its getting late.

Psychologists really aim to be scientists, white-coat stuff, with elaborate statistics, running experiments.

A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad.

I see myself as British, and I want to be celebrated by Britain.

We had an interesting thing at that first dinner. It was prior to the availability of several new hotels in Los Angeles, and we were more or less committed to the old Ambassador Hotel that has the famous Coconut Grove.

I'd love to do comedy.

I have a responsibility to the people who work for me, the manufacturers I work with. There is no point to clothes that don't sell.

My work is really abject and self-effacing sometimes. I mean, it's big and overwrought, but it's just paper dolls, and it's kind of silly.

I'm just going to go with it for as long as it lasts.

My favorite part of any project is the preparation. It's where you get to meet the people, the experts.

I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off.

Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive.

Sharks will scare me. I went out to Malibu a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful, clear day, out in five feet of water, going to surf, and there was this big ol' freakin' leopard shark... I'm looking at him and I'm thinking, 'OK, he won't hurt me.'

The heart of our relationship, this natural environment that has blessed us really all along the west coast of North America, on both sides of the border we've realized that this incredible natural wealth comes with a price.

You can't outwit fate by standing on the sidelines placing little sidebets about the outcome of life. Either you wade in and risk everything you have to play the game or you don't play at all. And if you don't play you can't win.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

What would happen if our clothes were Internet-enabled? Can you imagine if you lost a sock? You could send out a search, and sock No. 3117 would respond that it's under the couch in the living room.

I really do feel like I'm in better shape and look better now - even after having three kids - than I did before.

I'm at a stage in my life when I want a wife and a family.

No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.

Artistic qualities that once seemed undeniable don't seem so now. Sometimes these fluctuations are only fickleness of taste, momentary glitches in an artist's work, or an artist getting ahead of his audience (it took me ten years to catch up to Albert Oehlen). Other times, however, these problems mean there's something wrong with the art.
