Gib nie deine Träume auf, folge den Zeichen.

Erst die Möglichkeit, einen Traum zu verwirklichen, macht unser Leben lebenswert.

Denn alle Menschen haben immer genaue Vorstellungen davon, wie wir unser Leben am besten zu leben haben. Doch nie wissen sie selber, wie sie ihr eigenes Leben am besten anpacken sollen.

Plötzlich erkannte er, dass er die Welt entweder mit den Augen eines armen, beraubten Opfers sehen konnte oder aber als Abenteurer, auf der Suche nach einem Schatz.

Erinnere dich immer an das, was du erreichen willst.

Je näher man an seinen Traum herankommt, um so mehr wird der persönliche Lebensweg zum eigentlichen Lebensziel.

Niemand muss das Unbekannte fürchten, weil jeder Mensch das erreichen kann, was er will und was er braucht.

Nur die Ausdauernden, nur diejenigen, die viel nachforschen, vollenden das große Werk.

Jeder lernt auf seine Weise. Seine Art ist nicht die meine und meine Art ist nicht die seine. Aber beide suchen wir unseren Lebensweg und deshalb achte ich ihn.

Ich lebe weder in der Vergangenheit noch in der Zukunft. Ich habe nur die Gegenwart und mir diese interessiert mich. Wenn du immer in der Gegenwart leben kannst, dann bist du ein glücklicher Mensch.

Probiere es aus.

Jeder einzelne Tag trägt die Ewigkeit in sich.

Jeder Tag ist dazu da, um gelebt zu werden oder um an ihm die Welt zu verlassen.

Es gibt nur eine Möglichkeit zu lernen und das ist durch Handeln.

Niemand kann vor der Stimme seines Herzens fliehen. Deshalb ist es besser, darauf zu hören.

Die Angst vorm Leiden ist schlimmer als das eigentliche Leid.

Whether it's acting, directing or writing, I want to be involved in the film industry for the rest of my life.

The world does not have tidy endings. The world does not have neat connections. It is not filled with epiphanies that work perfectly at the moment that you need them.

You get more irrationality within the family and in consumer behavior than you get, say, in the behavior of firms in their purchases.

I'm just going to have fun. Maybe that will be the most important thing to do.

You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars.

To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.

I've never stopped loving cartoons. I loved cartoons as a kid. I can still look at them and enjoy them.

I often think of random melodies. And I pretty much hear in my head what I want to do with the orchestra as I'm writing on the piano.

I don't like the fact that North Korea is testing nuclear weapons, and I don't like the fact that they're testing missiles and shooting them out in the sea in kind of an antagonistic fashion.

Don't underestimate yourself. You are capable of more than you can ever imagine.

At one point, there wasn't a black quarterback in the NFL. When you start winning, then you start seeing more. Jumping up and down and screaming and calling people names is not going to change anything.

I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.

I think the older you get, the more you realize how important life is, the more you think about your family.

I will come out with my interpretation. If I'm wrong, fine. It will become part of the debris of history, part of the give and take.

Someone asked me the other day what it feels like to see all my 'old stuff' reappearing, at long last, in digital. And I had to smile because to me it doesn't feel like 'old stuff.'

When I was an actor in some movies a long time ago, I was so curious about all the camera movements - why is the camera placed here, and why does it move like this? And why the set and the background, the color? It's a lot of questions for me to ask, because I was so interested, not only in acting, but also the whole process of filmmaking.

Even though I've been reasonably well known for quite a long time, I still can't get a record on daytime radio or on MTV.

If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.

I teach classes 28 weeks of the year, but the rest of the time I do research and write books. While I'm writing a book, which I probably do two out of every three years, it's like having a second job. I squeeze in the hours when I can.

I want to encourage other people to try to discover who they are, not to try to fit into some superficial prototype of what they think a Christian should be, but to discover who they really are.

If only I could step back into the time of old movies, if only I could be given the opportunity to do what Katharine Hepburn did or what Rosalind Russell did. Those kinds of characters, that kind of patter, that kind of language, that kind of script. They don't exist any more.

Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don't need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you're set.

I love to shut out the world sometimes and hibernate.

Capital punishment is our society's recognition of the sanctity of human life.
