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

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? 

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

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. 

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes even the best lawyer in the world cant get you off.

I'm British; pessimism is my wheelhouse.

I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.

It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.

There are jobs to be created on both sides of the climate argument. Whether we are investing in oil or sun, coal or wind, gas or algae, the economy will be stimulated by the investment. The economy, unlike each of us, is not swayed by ideology.

Building out a professional profile on LinkedIn certainly makes sense, and bolstering that CV with intelligent pieces of writing is also a great idea. But if you're going to take the time to create content, you should also take the time to create a home for that content that is yours and yours alone.

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

I hate my own attorneys!

I may not yet be as old as dirt, but dirt and I are starting to have an awful lot in common.

I probably remember the 1954 Masters more vividly than any of the others.

I've been approached by a couple of people who've recognized me from 'Jack Reacher.' It's great... when the feedback's positive. I don't know if I look forward to the day when I can't go out and get a cup of coffee. I kinda hope that day never happens.

Keep an eye on the cat and another on the frying pan.

The devil himself had probably redesigned Hell in the light of information he had gained from observing airport layouts.

Some guys have trouble sleeping the night before an important round. I never have. Invariably, I sleep longer and better, and have more dreams, when I'm in contention and feeling pressure.

Sometimes I'll be sitting on Facebook at home and see all these people getting married, having kids, having that life that I was told I should have. And sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Am I the stupid one here? Am I not doing what I'm supposed to do? And that's also equally as stressful.

There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.

What is ironic is that Allen Ginsberg's importance was in its twilight for so many years that it took his death to bring it to the front page. He electrified an entire world!

My very addictive personality and all sorts of strongholds are a thing of the past for me. Yet at the root of every single one of those issues was insecurity, something I had battled since childhood.

Markets that don't work we're going to step away from.

When I was around 16 or 17, I got asked to model, but because I was very 'tomboy' at the time, I wasn't interested. But then I had a bit of teenage rebellion, and I saw modeling as an opportunity to get away from school and parents, so I thought, 'OK, maybe I will be a model.'

I don't write punch lines.

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.

I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up.
