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.

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.

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

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.

I dance around my living room to cheesy '80s aerobics music until I'm sweating really hard!

'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of consumerism.

Power is dangerous unless you have humility.

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes. But when you look back, everything is different?

In the early '90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they're the biggest band in the world.

If you build that foundation, both the moral and the ethical foundation, as well as the business foundation, and the experience foundation, then the building won't crumble.

I would write ads for deodorants or labels for catsup bottles if I had to.

Audiences like to be made to feel that there is a world where things go right: where big emotions can happen and yet feel safe. This is why there is a constant tension in Hollywood between studios who want happy endings and writers who want to explore the human condition. There is a time and a place for both!

Some guys will cheat on their girlfriends and sleep like a baby at night but feel guilty when they go to another barber.

Only 4 percent of all the companies owned in Scotland have their head offices in Scotland.

What we need is not a history of selected races or nations but the history of the world void of national bias race hate and religious prejudice.

There are two things I will never do in my life. I will never climb Mount Everest, and I will never work with Val Kilmer again. There isn't enough money in the world.

'The Green Lantern' seems a little calculated to me. It's like, 'We've got to get on this gay bandwagon and make this character gay.' Like anything else, there's earnest expressions in the culture and then there's kind of bandwagoning.

Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.

I have to put my career first.

The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

Standards only move in one direction. At the beginning of the world, standards were established and they've been slipping ever since.

Candy is my fuel. Ice cream, too.

A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.

Just like every show has a tone, every show has different people on it playing different games. I don't say 'game' in a pejorative sense, I just mean, these are different stories that we tell ourselves when we go to work.

Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.

My only real advice to Oscar nominees is, 'If you haven't actually seen a competitor's film, don't fib and say you have and blow smoke up their wahooziewhatsits.' Always best to be frank and tell them the truth.

Onstage, even though you're here together with the other actor, face-to-face, playing out the scene, you also have that other ear pointed out toward the audience and how they're listening. That informs a lot.

Russians clearly perceive America's global influence as being in irreversible decline and American society shattered by major political, economic and ideological crises.
