La razón por la que algunas personas les resulta tan difícil ser felices es porque ven el pasado mejor de lo que era, la presente peor de lo que es, y el futuro menos resuelto de lo que será.

Aunque nadie puede volver atrás y hacer un nuevo comienzo, cualquiera puede comenzar a partir de ahora y crear un nuevo final.

Da la bienvenida cada mañana con una sonrisa. Mira en el nuevo día como otro regalo especial de su creador, otra oportunidad de oro.

La felicidad no puede ser ganada, no es una propiedad. Es la experiencia espiritual de vida de cada minuto con amor, gracia y gratitud.

Acepta la responsabilidad de tu vida. Date cuenta que tú eres quien va a llegar a donde quiere ir, nadie más.

Si tú no construyes tu sueño, alguien va a contratarte para que le ayudes a construir el suyo.

Lo único que se interpone entre ti y tu sueño, es la voluntad de intentarlo y la creencia de que en realidad es posible.

Los desafíos son los que hacen la vida interesante, y superarlos es lo que hace la vida significativa.

El éxito consiste en obtener lo que se desea. La felicidad, en disfrutar lo que se obtiene.

La única manera de hacer un gran trabajo, es amar lo que haces. Si no lo has encontrado, sigue buscando. No te conformes.

Para lograr tener éxito, tu deseo de éxito debe ser mayor que tu miedo al fracaso.

El éxito no está en vencer siempre sino en no desanimarse nunca.

Estoy agradecido por todos los que me dijeron NO. Es gracias a ellos estoy siendo yo mismo.

La vida no se trata de encontrarse a sí mismo. La vida trata de crearse.

No vemos las cosas como son. Las vemos como somos nosotros.

Mi filosofía es que no sólo es tú eres responsable de su vida, pero haciendo lo mejor en este momento, nos ponemos en el mejor lugar para el momento siguiente.

El fracaso es un requisito para el éxito. Si quieres triunfar rápido, duplica el número de tus fracasos.

El único sitio donde el éxito llega antes que el trabajo es en el diccionario.

La vida es una aventura atrevida o no es nada.

He descubierto que si amas la vida, la vida te amará de vuelta.

Al final, no va a importar el número de respiraciones que tomaste, pero ¿cuántos momentos tomó el aliento?

Preocúpate más por tu carácter que su reputación, porque tu carácter es lo que realmente eres, mientras que tu reputación es lo que otros piensan que eres.

Dentro de veinte años estarás más decepcionado por las cosas que no hiciste que por las que hiciste. Así que suelta las amarras. Atrapa los vientos alisios en tus velas. Explora. Sueña. Descubre.

No juzgues cada día por la cosecha que has obtenido, sino por las semillas que has plantado.

Un viaje de mil millas comienza con un solo paso.

Intenta no volverte un hombre de éxito, sino un hombre de valor.

There are 9 rejected ideas for every idea that works.

In a perfect world, I only act when I really want to. I don't do most of the stuff that is out there, but it's a joy and a pleasure to do anything that promotes this higher power - this light, if you will. I just think there aren't enough projects in the world that do that.

The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That happened when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at our car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud.

There is a dark side to Allan Guthrie, but only at the weekends.

Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects and discovering the weaknesses of others.

I would supplant the ox with the automobile and pave instead of plowing the fields. 1 have a theory that if a corn field were paved, leaving out a brick for each hill, it would increase the yield, do away entirely with the mud, and give the farmer plenty of time to meditate on lofty subjects. That is only one theory. I have many others.

The velocity and knee-jerk response to events happening in real time that television brings us precludes any kind of reflection or contemplation and therefore analysis. And that's been one of the greatest political dangers in the post-war era. The idea of the reasoned, thoughtful response goes out of the window.

L.A. is a constellation of microclimates and microcosms, a library with dozens of special collections. A 20-minute drive can bring a temperature change of 15 degrees. Crossing an intersection can feel like crossing a national border.

Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.

When people come and see me, I want them to experience joy. I don't do any sad songs in my show. It's to lift the spirit.

When you do something for world peace, peace among groups, peace among individuals, or your own inner peace, you improve the total peace picture.

I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn't that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that's when your creativity is developed, when you're young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

More people saw me in one episode of 'Cheers' than would ever see me in a play.

The issue of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals has vexed politicians for decades. I have my own cloudy history with the issue, having supported a law in Mississippi that made it illegal for LGBT couples to adopt children. I believed at the time this was a principled position based on my faith.

A relationship takes time, and you really have to work hard at it. I'm devoted to my profession, but when I find the right guy, I'll work just as long and hard for him.

The idea of being on TV 24 hours a day and people seeing the real me... No.

The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.

I don't even know where to start in terms of people having such an issue about color, especially being dark. I just think on different levels it's ignorance; it's no belief, no confidence, it's insecurity, so you want to inflict it on somebody else.

I'm actually tougher on myself as I get older. It's a vicious cycle. The things that are important in life are the things that you can't buy in life: love, health and happiness. I say that, and I believe that, and I try to live that.

I was named for my grandmother. It's an evil-eye name, to protect you from bad things.

We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.

I've always been that contemptible thing, a luxury communist.

My childhood was marked by a tension between privilege on the one hand and emotional dysfunction on the other.
