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

،، 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

!!! 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

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

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

I was born on Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento, but we moved around a lot.

Very rarely am I attracted to characters that are 'woe is me.' I'm not a big fan of women that have to be the victim and need to be saved, at all times. I don't necessarily think that's how it is, in real life, and I don't think that's how it should be in films.

I think until Britain acknowledges just how much of a presence black people had here before the Sixties, then there are certain stories that are not going to be inclusive of what I have to offer.

How can one know anything at all about people?

What worries me is the professionalism of everything.

Traditional fiction has a little bit of spatial exploration but is basically a question of time - the question is, what happens next?

Our witness good or bad is the overflow of our lives.

If you have faith in our leaders of commerce, don't buy gold. If you do not have faith in them, maybe you should buy gold or silver.

There's something to be said for CEOs' entering politics: In theory, they have management expertise and financial savvy. Then again, it didn't work so well with Dick Cheney.

I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers - we should look at what young people are saying to us.

I could never see a book written in a foreign language without the most ardent desire to read it.

The standard growth theory tells us that economic growth in per capita basis comes from mainly two sources: capital deepening and total factor productivity growth, or TFP growth.

I think it's more fun to grow to love characters who are flawed than it is to present perfect characters. Perfect characters aren't very funny. Certainly my friends are a strange, intense bunch of people, and people's families drive them crazy, but challenging relationships are always more rewarding.

Dementia is after all a symptom of organic brain damage. It is a condition a disorder of the central nervous system brought about in my case by a viral assault on brain tissue. When the assault wiped out certain intellectual processes it also affected emotional processes.

Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.

It's hard for bands to stick it out because people grow up, and it never really pays off. If you're looking for some sort of payoff, it's not gonna happen.

I had to write about realistic circumstances. That's the way my brain works. And I think that gave me a sort of place in the field.

When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.

I don't have any rules when it comes to clothes. I'll wear anything if it fits and looks good.

Students today are a pretty solemn lot. One of the really notable achievements of the twentieth century has been to make the young old before their time.

I start with a character and a situation, but I don't know what's going to happen until I write it. Sometimes things happen that surprise me.

At one point in my career, while still hosting 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' I was told by my doctor that it might not be physically possible for me to have children.

The reaper does not listen to the harvest.
