سر العبقرية هو أن تحمل روح الطفولة إلى الشيخوخة، ما يعني عدم فقدان الحماس أبداً

السّعادة أن يكون لديك ثلاثة أشياء: شيء تعمله، وشيء تحبّه، وشيء تطمح إليه

حسبك من السّعادة في هذه الدّنيا: ضمير نقيّ، ونفش هادئة، وقلب شريف، وأن تعمل بيديك

لا تتوقّف السّعادة على الحظّ والبخت، وإنّما على العمل ومواصلة الكفاح الدّائم

تتوقّف السّعادة على ما تستطيع إعطائه، لا على ما تستطيع الحصول عليه

التفاؤل هو الميزة الأكثر ارتباطآ بالنجاح والسعادة من أي شيء آخر

أبقِ عينيك مفتوحتين دائمآ .. وراقب ، لأن كل ما تراه حولك يمكن أن يلهمك

لا طريق لتحقيق السعادة .. فالسعادة هي الطريق

إن أردت أن تعيش حياة سعيدة ، فاربطها بهدف ، وليس بأشخاص أو أشياء

النجاح هو تحقيق ما تريده؛ أما السعادة فهي الرغبة في ما تحصل عليه

السعادة مثل الفراشة، في حال لاحقتها فلن تمسك بها ولكن إن كنت هادئاً ستأتي وتحط على كتفك

السعادة ؟ صحة جيدة وذاكرة ضعيفة

ليس المهم أن تكون في النور كي ترى،المهم أن يكون ما تود رؤيته موجود في النور

إذا أردت التخلص من القلق وبدء حياة هانئة، فعدّد ما بك من نعم وليس متاعبك

احتفظ بابتسامة جذابة على وجهك حتى إذا لم تكن شعر أنك تريد أن تبتسم فتظاهر بالابتسامة حيث إن العقل الباطن لا يستطيع أن يفرق بين الشيء الحقيقي والشيء غير الحقيقي، وعلى ذلك فمن الأفضل أن تقرر أن تبتسم باستمرار

عندما تتكاثر المصائب يمحو بعضها بعضًا وتحل بك سعادة جنونية غريبة المذاق، وتستطيع أن تضحك من قلب لم يعد يعرف الخوف

عليك أن تشعر أولا بأنك سعيد وتقدم السعادة لكي ترتد إليك الأشياء السعيدة

امنح كل يوم الفرصة ليكون أجمل أيام حياتك

إن السعادة تنتقل بالعدوى ..لا تنتظر عدوى أحد .. كن حاملاً لهذا الميكروب

الأناني هو من لا يستخدم كل دقائق حياته في تأمين سعادة الأنانيين

كثيرون يبحثون عن السعادة فيما هو أعلى من الإنسان، وآخرون فيما هو أوطى منه. لكن السعادة بطول قامة الإنسان

I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once.

A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.

Theatre is relatively easy if you're British - you're living in the theatre capital of the world, London - there are so many places you can work, still. If I had begun to think of myself as a film actor, I think I would have got distracted.

Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success.

The kids are fixing their eyes on social media, and the stories they're looking at may not be the most important things. I'm guilty of that, too. Do you want to look at Instagram or the news? It's a difficult, and weird, situation.

You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn't mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It's just like a football season. Everything's not going to go perfect.

All the minor sports injuries you acquire over the years begin to multiply like flies when you get over 70.

So, the point was to be able to have a medium that would record all the connections and all the structures and all the thoughts that paper could not. Since the computer could hold any structure in any form, this was the way to go.

If I'm gonna write songs about my exes, they can write songs about me. That's how it works.

Ay, to the proof, as mountains are for winds, that shakes not, though they blow perpetually.

I do get stopped a bit now and then, but I can go to the supermarket and on the Tube without being noticed. It's usually me that gets starstruck, especially by TV stars.

Require... electoral votes to be allocated in proportion to the popular votes.

As a viewer, I'm personally less interested in the damaged, white, middle-class male figuring out his dreams and more interested in maybe an underdog figuring out how they're going to survive in a world that doesn't necessarily invite them in.

To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.

Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle.

Nobody warned me that when you fall in love, you really fall in love forever.

When I'm sick of myself, and when I don't know what to say as a solo artist, I can write a song for a movie. When I don't know where to turn musically, being in a band - Rilo Kiley or Jenny & Johnny - the collaborative nature is really exciting.

Who is that person that comes around and says, 'You are OK, you are worthy, you are special?' That makes all the difference in the world for many of us. Those are the people we appreciate the most.

Because I'm an American woman, and I write straight plays, it's always been sort of assumed I would never be done on Broadway. But that was never the goal.

When you're in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There's also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.

We had a great time making 'Chennai Express.' It was a learning experience working with Shah Rukh... it was a positive experience.

There's a difference between publicity and marketing. A lot of writers don't realize how much marketing goes on beyond the scenes, with sales reps and advanced reading copies, all that stuff that happens months before a book is published.

The impetus for 'The Sisters Brothers' was it occurred to me that there was no neurosis in westerns, or there's a minimal amount of it.

One is a painter because one wants so-called freedom; one doesn't want to go to the office every morning.
