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

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. 

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. 

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 think it is not necessary at this time to put forth a grand vision such as an East Asian Community. What we must do before that is create scenarios for Japan's response in case of a serious territorial incident.

Im an animal love, but I don't have the smarts to be a vet, or the heart to have been a vet cause I cry over any wounded animal.

Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.

What we can do as individuals may not be very much on the global scale, but we have to start the change by living as we are teaching.

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

Whether it's as the hero of an adventure story, as teacher and friend, as icon on watch, shirt or hat - everyone knows Mickey Mouse.

People in the news media after I got caught said how could you have not caught this guy? He had 50 corrections in four years. That's a lot of corrections. Well what they failed to look at is how many stories there were and out of 700 plus stories, 50 corrections is not a high amount.

The power to change the world starts with us first changing our belief and ourselves.
