إن التفكير أصعب الأعمال وهذا هو السبب في أن القليلين هم الذين يختارونه كعمل

،، هُناك شيء واحد في هذا الكون يُمكنك أن تثق بأنّك تستطيع تحسينه بالتّأكيد !! هذا الشّيء هو .... أنت

!! إذا كان هُناك كتاب تُريد حقّاً أن تقرأه لكنّه لم يُكتب بعد .... فيجب عليك أن تكتبه أنت

، إذا كُنت تُريد أن تشعر بالرّضا وأنت ذاهب للفراش فلتكُن لديك عزيمة و إصرار في كل صباح تستيقظ فيه من نومك

!!! الأمر الجيّد ... أن الأمور السّيئة يُمكن أن تتحوّل إلى أمور جيّدة عندما تُغيّر موقفك

،، المُتفائل يرى فُرصة في كل مُصيبة

بعض النّاس ينظرون إلى العالم و يقولون "لم"؟ وبعض النّاس ينظرون إلى العالم و يقولون "لم لا"؟

، رجُلان نظرا للخارج من خلال قُضبان السّجن !! .... أحدهما رأى وحلاً ،، و الآخر رأى نجوماً

!! إنّ كل حركة عظيمة ورائدة في سجلّات التّاريخ ... هي انتصار للحماس

لا تستسلم !!! استمر في المُضيّ ، هناك دائماً احتمال أن قدميك ستصطدمان بشيء رائع !! لم أسمع قط عن شخص تعثّرت قدماه بشيء وهو جالس

إننا لا نعرف من نحن .. حتّى نرى ما نستطيع أن نفعله

افعل ما تستطيع ، مستخدما كل ما تملك أينما كنت

الحياة ليست ثابتة ، وأولئك الذين لا يستطيعون تغيير عقولهم هم سكان المقابر والمجانين والموتى

إن الشيء لا يكتمل بمجرد الوصول إليه ، وإنما يكتمل عندما يصل إلى نهايته

لا تبحث عن الأخطاء ولكن ابحث عن العلاج

لا شيء يتغير بل نحن الذين نتغير

لكل جهد منظم عائد مضاعف

الفعل وليس المعرفة هو الغاية العظمى من الحياة

إذا أردت أن تخلق الأعداء فتميز على أصدقائك أما إذا شئت أن تكسب الأصدقاء فدع أصدقاءك يتميزون عليك

ليس هناك بلاد صغيرة فعظمة الشعوب لا يقدرها عدد أفرادها وعظمة الفرد لا تصنعها قامته

We aren't upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can't develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Resistance to revelation, resistance to becoming conscious of all that dwells within us - high and low, light and dark - is the anti-change factor. It is also the mainspring of all our psychological fears.

Religion and philosophy are to be preserved distinct. We are not to introduce divine revelations into philosophy, nor philosophical opinions into religion.

I try to make films, not movies. I've never liked the expression 'movie', but it sounds elitist to say that.

I'm very aware of what you're talking about as I was involved with the radio in Africa in the same period as I was doing Concrete - I was doing both at the same time.

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.

I think I'm a writer, and it's my job. People in other professions are expected to do their jobs all the time. Why shouldn't I?

Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood, To one fixed trust my spirit clings; I know that God is good!

Shakespeare shows you what it is possible to do in English as a writer - but also shows you that you might as well give up. As it's all been done before and hundreds of years ago. So I have had that long-standing relationship of oppression and inspiration.

Writing, more than any other art, is indexed to the worthiness of the self because it is identified in people's minds with emotion.

'Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.

My lips are like camera for her, whenever I click her with my lips, she smiles.

Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

If you really look hard at the evidence, the most rational conclusion is to believe that the demonic is real.

Love may be a ring that has no end, but the logic is far from circular.

What's important about me is that I really have, in ways I never could have foreseen when I was young, a writing career that's reached a lot of different places.

I'm very domestic; I love cleaning. I love cooking. I like waiting on people. I just like to make things. I don't break that down to be weakness, or the only things women can do, or putting me back 20 years.

DNA is like Midass gold everyone who touches it goes mad.

It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.

The time is long overdue to encourage women to dream the possible dream.

Guitar is the best form of self expression I know. Everything else and Im just sort of tripping around trying to figure my way through life.

Even money has a price.

There is a strange kind of human being in whom there is an eternal struggle between body and soul, animal and god, for dominance. In all great men this mixture is striking, and in none more so than in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
