Lo que la oruga llama el fin, el resto del mundo le llama mariposa.

Toda la gloria proviene de atreverse a comenzar.

Nadie puede volver atrás y comenzar de nuevo, pero cualquiera puede comenzar hoy mismo y hacer un nuevo final.

El fracaso es la oportunidad de comenzar de nuevo con más inteligencia.

No esperes a que las condiciones sean perfectas para empezar, es principio hace las condiciones perfectas.

Nunca se es demasiado viejo para establecer un nuevo objetivo, o para soñar un nuevo sueño.

El final de un trabajo o una relación puede parecer como la noche más oscura, pero no es más que la temporada de invierno. El tiempo de renovación y renacimiento que precede a la nueva plantación. El comienzo del gran ciclo siguiente.

Todos los grandes hechos y todos los grandes pensamientos tienen un comienzo ridículo.

Hay cosas mucho mejores allá adelante que cualquiera de las que estamos dejando atrás.

Cuando sientas que todo se pone en tu contra, recuerda que un avión despega contra el viento, no a favor.

¿Qué sería de la vida, si no tuviéramos el valor de intentar algo nuevo?

Da el primer paso con fe. No tienes que ver todas las escaleras, solo da el primer paso.

Debemos estar dispuestos a deshacernos de la vida que hemos planeado, a fin de tener la vida que nos espera. La vieja piel debe ser derramada antes de que la nueva pueda salir.

Aunque nadie puede volver y comenzar de cero, cualquiera puede comenzar a partir de ahora y obtener un nuevo final.

Comience haciendo lo que sea necesario: luego haga lo que sea posible: y de repente está haciendo lo imposible.

El comienzo es la parte más importante del trabajo.

¿Así que qué hacemos? Cualquier cosa. Alguna cosa. Mientras no nos quedemos sentados allí. Si lo arruinamos, empecemos de nuevo. Intenta algo más. Si esperamos hasta que hayamos satisfecho todas las incertidumbres, puede ser demasiado tarde.

En lugar de decir "estoy dañado, estoy quebrado, tengo problemas de confianza", diga "me estoy curando, me estoy redescubriendo a mí mismo, estoy empezando de nuevo”.

If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.

My mother really didn't know a heck of a lot about business. She was a very good mother, that made sure we ate right and we had our cod liver oil, but didn't know a heck of a lot about what I did.

Some films clearly seem to divide people. And I do think there's something incredibly exciting about the commonality of us as human beings, which some films are lucky enough to tap into.

Canadians are often a friendly bunch.

Children aren't just our future. They're our present.

I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.

Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.

What do I see when I look in the mirror? One handsome man. No, I see the same person I have seen for the last 27 years: the person I believed I could be when I was a child, the person I have inspired and dreamed to be all my life, and that's the person I have seen, from being that big to as big as the roof - the same guy.

The corporations and the media don't need power; they already have it.

If your agent or publisher is jumping up and down at the thought of your novel, it's because they're picturing the movie poster on the side of the bus.

What I learned was that these athletes were not disabled they were superabled. The Olympics is where heroes are made. The Paralympics is where heroes come.

Tim on the show does a lot of that posturing, of course, and feels sort of threatened by women. But even at that, you do see him cooking, and ultimately he's a good father because he spends a lot of time with the boys.

I've always been worried about the band but I've got to the point now where I think it's time to start thinking about myself a bit more.

Food, love, career, and mothers, the four major guilt groups.

The canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerises some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves.

I've shot a lot of places, and I've produced. I always thought, 'Gosh, when you shoot in a big city, it's so difficult.' And New York, I always think, 'Where are you going to park the trucks? How are you going to stop the traffic?'

I always wear blue shirts and I like wine or purple ties.

I'll sweep the floors. I've picked up napkins in the men's room. I'm not above anything.

I am thankful that in the giving we receive, and what we receive is the satisfaction of knowing that whatever we give is always bigger once we've given it away.

One of my favourite actresses is Kate Winslet. She plays strong female characters and seems like she has a strong political awareness. I really like Naomi Watts and Juliette Lewis.

Sochi started with the same problem as every Winter Olympics. Forget the crass commercialism, the fake amateurism, NBC's refusal to televise important events live to all its viewers. As an event, the Winter Games fail on the most basic level. They're lousy to watch.

If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infants life she will choose to save the infants life without even considering if there is a man on base.
