Noi siamo ciò che pensiamo. Tutto quello che siamo sorge dai nostri pensieri. I nostri pensieri costruiscono il mondo.

Migliaia di candele possono venire accese da una singola candela, e la vita della candela non sarà abbreviata. La felicità non diminuisce mai con l’essere condivisa

Nella mente ha origine la sofferenza; nella mente ha origine la cessazione della sofferenza.

Il cambiamento non è mai doloroso. Solo la resistenza al cambiamento lo è.

Non c’è niente di costante tranne il cambiamento.

Il profumo dei fiori non va contro vento, non quello del sandalo, del tagara e del gelsomino; il profumo dei buoni va contro vento: un uomo retto pervade tutte le regioni.

Prima di parlare domandati se ciò che dirai corrisponde a verità, se non provoca male a qualcuno, se è utile, ed infine se vale la pena turbare il silenzio per ciò che vuoi dire.

Se tiri troppo la corda di una chitarra la romperai, ma se la lasci troppo allentata non suonerà. Imparare è Cambiare. La strada dell’Illuminazione sta nella via di Mezzo. È la linea che sta tra tutti gli opposti estremi.

Realizzare la propria salvezza è compito immediato di ogni uomo. Vi sarà tempo per una comprensione sempre maggiore dell’Insegnamento percorrendo la Via. Intanto, si inizi ad affrontare la vita, quale è, imparando sempre dall’esperienza diretta e personale.

Il primo fatto dell’esistenza è la legge del cambiamento o impermanenza. La vita è un continuo fluire, e colui che si aggrappa a qualsiasi forma, per quanto splendida, soffrirà resistendo alla corrente.

Retta Visione, Retto Risoluzione, Retta Parola, Retta Azione, Retti Mezzi di sussistenza, Retto Sforzo, Retta Consapevolezza, Retta Concentrazione.

Body language is more powerful than words.

I'm very independent. I'm not sure how I'd deal with someone who wanted to be with me 24/7.

We sincerely ask the Beijing authorities across the Strait to view the election result from a positive perspective, to accept the democratic decision of the Taiwanese people.

Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.

Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable. Disposable in war; disposable in work. We need warriors and volunteer firefighters, so we label these men heroes.

I never fit in as a kid. I always felt that there was something different about me.

There are some great divers in Europe and I'm really excited about going to Eindhoven.

The anchors of the Arab consensus have long been Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and both are now weakened forces in Arab politics and diplomacy.

If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.

Grief is itself a medicine.

The space program needs a goal, and the goal should be humans to Mars.

Caprice in women often infringes upon the rules of decency.

For TV you also get those pre-interviews when researchers ask you what you're going to say. The pre-interview drives me insane. If they've already decided the outcome, why don't I just hand in an essay? Maybe if we talk we'll find something out. I'd rather just have an awkward pause.

Anger will always stand in the way of your dreams. Don't let anyone take your dreams.

Do not allow sins to get beyond creeping.

I think girls like vampires because they are mysterious and they really don't know what they are about. I think a lot of girls are attracted to that.

For me, it's always the same: worrying about how I can get better, the techniques I can do.

What was so extraordinary to me about going through this box of my mother's letters and diaries was meeting my mother not as my mother, but as a real person. And what breaks my heart is that I had no idea how self-aware she was and how protective of me she was.

For the last five years I've been in the production business.

I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.

Man, of all the animals, is probably the only one to regard himself as a great delicacy.

I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to 'Tron,' but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn't really see any of that stuff, and I haven't been able to catch up since.

I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.

When one lifts a ballerina it is not her weight but her nature that causes the problem.
