Não há arauto mais perfeito da alegria do que o silêncio. Eu sentir-me-ia muito pouco feliz se me fosse possível dizer a que ponto o sou.

É mais fácil obter o que se deseja com um sorriso do que à ponta da espada.

Há mais perigo em teus olhos do que em vinte espadas!

As juras mais fortes consomem-se no fogo da paixão como a mais simples palha.

Chorar sobre as desgraças passadas é a maneira mais segura de atrair outras.

Há mais coisas no céu e na terra, Horácio, do que sonha a tua filosofia.

Ter um filho ingrato é mais doloroso do que a mordida de uma serpente!

A beleza provoca o ladrão mais do que o ouro.

Se todo o ano fosse de férias alegres, divertirmo-nos tornar-se-ia mais aborrecido do que trabalhar.

De todas as paixões baixas, o medo é a mais amaldiçoada.

As coisas mais mesquinhas enchem de orgulho os indivíduos baixos.

Tenha paciência. Tudo aquilo que você deseja, se for verdadeiro, e o mais importante: se for para ser seu, acontecerá.

O meu amor eu guardo para os mais especiais. Não sigo todas as regras da sociedade e às vezes ajo por impulso. Erro, admito. aprendo, ensino. Todos erram um dia: por descuido, inocência ou maldade. Conservar algo que faça eu recordar de ti seria o mesmo que admitir que eu pudesse esquecer-te.

Algumas quedas servem para que levantemos mais felizes.

Devagar! Quem mais corre, mais tropeça!

Uma pessoa é única ao estender a mão, e ao recolhê-la inesperadamente torna-se mais uma. O egoísmo unifica os insignificantes.

Que a melhor sala de aula do mundo está aos pés de uma pessoa mais velha; Que quando você está amando dá na vista; Que ter uma criança adormecida em seus braços é um dos momentos mais pacíficos do mundo.

As mais belas jóias, sem defeito, com o uso o encanto perdem.

Maturidade tem mais a ver com o tipo de experiência que você teve na vida, do que com quantas velas você apagou.

Há mais mistérios entre o céu e a terra do que a vã filosofia dos homens possa imaginar.

They say misery loves company, but so does mediocrity. Don't let the limiting beliefs of OTHERS limit what's possible for YOU.

I was a 'Big Brother' fan. I thought they were better musicians than their detractors claimed, but more to the point, technical accomplishment was not something I cared about.

How did we win the election in the year 2000? We talked about a humble foreign policy: No nation-building; don't police the world. That's conservative, it's Republican, it's pro-American - it follows the founding fathers. And, besides, it follows the Constitution.

I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.

We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play.

The reason why Three Mile Island makes such a big impact is because of a Jane Fonda movie called 'The China Syndrome.'

I have always had a certain aversion to heat. And for me, the name of the game on the stage is 'beat the heat.' It's always July under the lights.

Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global solidarity.

On the environment and climate change, I suspect that future generations will think there was too much timidity, too much fear of upsetting business. Basically, New Labour was very nervous about regulating business, or requiring it to do anything, even when there was a very clear social or environmental case for doing so.

Let people have an education and you can't stop them.

We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal; this somehow 'excuses' what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.

I feel great. I feel younger. And I don't feel anything at all. I don't know who knows, but right now I'm, how, how many years have I, fifty five, something like that. Forty three years old. And I feel like seventeen, like twenty five years ago.

I believe the Palestinians have never indicated a willingness to meet our minimum requirements, which are recognition of Israel's permanence and legitimacy as a Jewish state and end of claims and end of conflict.

A guided missile corrects its trajectory as it flies, homing in, say, on the heat of a jet plane's exhaust. A great improvement on a simple ballistic shell, it still cannot discriminate particular targets. It could not zero in on a designated New York skyscraper if launched from as far away as Boston.

Every designer needs a story. Mine is all about glamour because my family has been in the business of glamour for three generations. My grandfather Shamshuddin Khan started his embroidery and fabric-making business in the 1930s.

One gets wrapped up in reacting to one's own reputation, which can be a kind of trap.

Every time I make a film, I feel it gives me the chance to learn something new.

What an entrepreneur does is to build for the long run. If the market is great, you get all of the resources you can. You build to it. But a good entrepreneur is always prepared to throttle back, put on the brakes, and if the world changes, adapt to the world.

What I love about New York is just the electricity I feel right away.

The best thing about being a writer is it gives you readers who understand your deepest feelings and fears.

I can play really terrible human beings, and I seem to have a quality that people can, if not necessarily forgive me those sins, at least cut me some slack.

And I just want to work with good directors and good people.

I want to clear my mind a little bit and give my mind a little bit of time to breathe so I can pinpoint or at least nail down feelings I'm having and that I've had for the last however long. I need to nail them down long enough to actually write about and elaborate on them.

How real can your music be if you wake up in the morning hearing birds and crickets? I never hear birds when I wake up. Just a lot of construction work, the smell of Chinese takeout, children screaming, and everybody knocking a different track from 'Ready to Die' as they pass down the street.
