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

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. 

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

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. 

I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.

My great-grandfather was a self-taught man, and his library was extraordinary. I read the lot.

I only drank for three years of my life, but I drank enough in those three years to last me the rest of my life... It's a religious thing.

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

Unfortunately, I don't have much free time.

When I say I do, the justice of the peace replies, 'I know, I know...'

I have been very fortunate to be successful in business, and I believe that it is right that people who have this type of wealth should give something back into society.

In love there are no vacations. No such thing. Love has to be lived fully with its boredom and all that.

A career in showbiz is like a distance run. You have to have patience and pace yourself.

The women's movement in the 1970s led more women into the workforce and got them closer to pay equality.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

I'm at a point in my life where I have something solid now. I'm a peaceful person, and I want to be surrounded by peace no matter what I'm doing.

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities

I think you make better jokes when you don't break logic for the joke, unless you make a movie just about jokes.

If I want to speculate wildly about the future, I have my science fiction. Anybody who tells you they can predict the future is either crazy or lying.

I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

My daughter wants to do yoga with me and wants to be in the theater thing, and I can't tell her, 'Don't be an actress.' My son loves guitar and loves to be in a band and wants his iTunes downloaded with all this old-school hip-hop so he understands where hip-hop came from.

I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.

My favourite two festivals have always been the Big Day Out and Summersonic in Japan. The Big Day Out is a little more fun because it lasts longer. It's like an abbreviated version of the Warped tour because you get to play with the same people every day, which is really fun.

I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

I'm doing exactly what I want to do, and I'm having fun doing it.

People are very open-minded about new things as long as they're exactly like the old ones.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
